Declaration of Intent

An applicant to the "Debian Developer, uploading" or the "Debian Developer, non-uploading" status has to make a Declaration of Intent.

This is normally done through visiting https://nm.debian.org/process/XXX/intent , where XXX is the Applicant's Process number and post a signed message.

The message can be wrote in a plain text file, using one's favourite editor, and then signed using a command like cat text_file|gpg --clearsign --default-key $APPLICANT_KEY_ID.

Normally, the command to use is suggested on the Applicant's Intent page.

After submitting this signed statement (the message along with the OpenPGP signature obtained through the recommended command) through the form on the Intent page, this step is done.
