Who I am
I'm author of ReText editor, and some smaller projects and libraries. In real life, I'm student at Mathematics department of Moscow State University.
My Ubuntu story
I've been using Ubuntu since version 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon), and I started contributing last summer (retext changelog dates back to Mon, 13 Jun 2011).
My involvement
I'm mostly involved with maintaining my apps and their dependency stack. I've also been contributing to Python-related packages and modules.
Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of
I'm the primary maintainer of these packages (I do most of the maintenance work in Debian):
retext
python-markdown
python-gdata
unity-mail
mathjax
Incomplete list of (other) source packages I've contributed to: gnome-icon-theme, googlecl, lightdm, light-themes, nautilus, python{,3}-defaults, python-docutils, python-gnupg, python-roman, sphinx, ubuntu-packaging-guide.
Areas of work
I am:
- maintaining my packages;
translating packages (I'm member of UbuntuRussianTranslators team);
- fixing bugs in other packages;
- participating in the IRC.
Some statistics (more links can be found at DmitryShachnev page):
I'm also Debian Maintainer and member of DPMT, PAPT and JavaScript teams.
Things I could do better
I mostly write in Python and C++, so I need to improve my skills in other languages (C and Perl in the first place). My English can also be a bit improved
Plans for the future
Long-term plan: I am planning to become a MOTU member eventually. I've started with these two packages because these two are only ones that I maintain in Ubuntu (not in Debian).
Short-term plan: For raring, I plan to get at least two new packages into Ubuntu: pymarkups and python-secretstorage. I also want to update ReText to 4.0 and maybe package some extensions for it.
What I like least in Ubuntu
I don't much like the way we work with patches. There are branches where patches are applied, unapplied, half-applied :), there are native packages with Ubuntu changes, there still are packages not using quilt.
Some packages have so many patches that the maintainers have to create subdirectories for them.
Speaking about my packages, one I like least is python-gdata because it has lots of dead and unmaintained code, and upstream is quite unfriendly (and doesn't accept patches) :(.

General feedback
Dmitry has done a great job taking care of the two packages and he should totally have upload rights for them.
