I, Martin Pitt, apply for upload rights for package(s) cockpit{,-machines,-podman}.

I am applying because:
I'd like to eliminate delays in getting my work sponsored. I initially tried sponsoring in https://launchpad.net/bugs/2099668 but this apparently isn't working so well. Cockpit releases every two weeks, and our users expect and appreciate the latest versions in backports.
Who I am
I have been an upstream maintainer of Cockpit since 2017, as full-time Red Hat employee. I also maintain the Debian package.
My Ubuntu story
I have been a Canonical employee between 2004 and 2016, and been a Ubuntu core dev until a few weeks ago. My latter membership expired, and I finally let it as I haven't actually uploaded anything to Ubuntu main in years -- I still had a lot of leftover privileges (core-dev, archive admin, etc.) which today are just unused by me, and thus an unnecessary risk.
However, I didn't realize then that I would also lose upload rights for Cockpit. I don't often need to upload it to the development series other than requesting the occasional manual sync, but I do upload backports every two weeks after the upstream release and Debian upload. I would like to be able to upload backports again as by now Cockpit users on Ubuntu are expecting them. Recent examples are #21675 or #21483
My involvement
Examples of my work
On https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cockpit/+changelog you can see that I uploaded a lot of Ubuntu backports over the years.
Areas of work
I am subscribed to Ubuntu bug reports and groom them.
However, we actually receive most bug reports directly upstream, and ironically (as this is primarily a Fedora/RHEL project) many or even most of them come from Ubuntu users. Ubuntu is a first-class citizen in our CI and support, and all our upstream PRs are being tested there -- currently 22.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS, and 24.10 as latest stable.
