Alexey is an active proxy-maintainer [1], and significantly contributes to the Games project (but not limited to), often working with quite difficult packages like games-engines/openmw and dev-games/openscenegraph-openmw [2]. He sends a lot of PRs on GitHub and helps in reviewing. Alexey is also an upstream developer of net-irc/znc and a contributor to many other projects [3]. He works at Google SRE. I will be his mentor.

Very many thanks for stepping up here, Stefan. I've been really impressed with Alexey's efforts so far.
As we have discussed with Stefan, Alexey needs more practical experience before he can join us as a full dev. Please reopen this bug again no less than in 3 months. This is a reasonable time span to address knowledge gaps.
