All I stated was that it was less efficient for many people to do work through sponsors. Well, let's do an indirect proof. Assuming I would not benefit the project much, uploading my packages takes time by REAL Debian developers who could be doing actual work that would benefit Debian. Getting an account would prevent me from bothering sponsors with my silly packages. So, whether I would benefit the project or not, it would benefit the project to create an account for me. Keep in mind that I don't take it _this_ serriously. The topic came up and I commented that I was in the same situation. I'm still waiting patiently and don't want to make a fuss. I only wish I did not have to bother sponsors when I do have the mental capacity to upload a package. I've even offered to help expedite the new-maintainer process if accepted into Debian. My offer has been to create accounts, since that seems like where one of the major bottlenecks is, but if this responsibility can not be entrusted to brand-new developers (which is likely the case), I would appreciate suggestions on other ways I could help.
