Maybe there is some confusion about what debian-mentors does -- definitely no one there should take over your project. The debian-mentors list doesn't maintain anything, they only offer packaging suggestions and provide a source of sponsors. Could you please provide a link so we can understand what happened? I can't find any messages from you in the debian-mentors list archive. When you find a sponsor for your package (on debian-mentors or elsewhere), you are still the official maintainer. The sponsor will build the package on his machine, check to make sure that it meets Debian Policy and doesn't do anything evil, and upload it to Debian. But you as the maintainer have the final responsibility for fixing bugs in the package, updating it to new upstream versions, and so on. best regards, -- Kevin B.
