joining the team

Dear Debian Multimedia team,

In the last year I've spent time practising formal backports and
updating packages, and since sometime this last fall I've been doing
uploads to debian-mentors.  Currently I think the only packages in the
Debian archive with my name on them are the exfat-fuse and and
exfat-utils backports to Jessie.

I'd like to join the Debian Multimedia team as my next step in
becoming more involved with Debian development.  My alioth account
name is sten-guest, my irc nick on oftc and freenode is nick[0].  My
first choice of usernames is sten, because it's what I've been using
since my undergrad.  Also, that's what I used when I was doing
packaging work for CRUX Linux from 2004 to 2006.  My second choice
would be either nick0 or nsteeves.  I am subscribed to backports,
debian-mentors, pkg-multimedia-maintainers, and
pkg-multimedia-commits.

My bug-managing experience is mostly with btrfs-tools.  Here is a
updated package I uploaded to debian mentors today:

http://mentors.debian.net/package/audacious

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/audacious/audacious_3.7.2-1.1.dsc

I'm also working on closing bug #780081 (btrfs-tools), but I'm not
sure how the bug tracker and package rename interact.  I'm providing
it for review here, because I imagine that being able to properly
rename a package is a necessary prerequisite for joining a team:

http://mentors.debian.net/package/btrfs-progs

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/btrfs-progs/btrfs-progs_4.4.1-1.1.dsc

Kind regards,
Nicholas
