    Dear DAM

    With this writing I want to thank Norbert Preining for his efforts and
    results of making KDE Plasma and applications available in Debian. 
    Several years ago releases of KDE Plasma, applications, etc in Debian
    were significantly delayed with respect to upstream releases. Norbert
    managed to decreases this delay by a magnitude, even such that KDE
    Plasma for Debian was made available before the release of KDE Neon!  
    Next to this, the quality of his packages were at highest levels. In the occurance of bugs a mail to Norbert was sufficient and almost by return
    e-mail solved. Nobert served my and many others very well, his
    communication was clear and swift.

    Unfortunately Norbert communicated that he has been demoted and as a
    result felt that he should leave Debian and its community.

    Looking at the results achieved and his track record, seen from my
    perspective, I would appreciate very much, if Nobert´s work could be
    continued for Debian. With this I kindly ask you to do your utmost best
    to make this happen!

    Thank you very much,
