OK.


However I didn't see a match between message body
and 'Subject: Re: Request for cmaj to be added as DD for asterisk'

So this email is for finding what is being asked    :-)

One question could be "Can I, account cmaj, be added to pkg-voip-team at Salsa?"
 
I think that is a valid question from Chris with current response form
URL https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-voip-team/asterisk/-/project_members?search=cmaj

My hopes are that there will be a Debian style answer like "done!".
When such "cmaj added to pkg-voip-team" comes along is unknown.
@Chris: feel free to sent "ping" or a more verbose eqivalent when needed.


And it could be the question is "Make me, Chris Maj, Debian Developer".
That would be a realy good question. The **start** of the answer is
at https://www.debian.org/devel/join/index.en.html

The request could be "Allow me, Chris Maj, to upload asterisk packages".
That is documented at https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer


Maybe I should not guess what Chris is requesting
and allow Chris to elaborate on his post.
