Do you think people who aren't interested in reviewing or sponsoring random packages and so don't go to the link you provided will sometimes sponsor some package they noticed on d-devel@? Or how should this change increase the sponsorship rate? > The noise level of debian-devel would go up, but if we collectively find > RFS being ignored a serious problem, then maybe making noise about a > serious problem is a good idea. Not sure if this is correct reasoning. We, the project, likely find RFS being ignored a serious problem, but Constitution 2.1.1 doesn't leave us with many tools to solve it. OTOH if some DD personally finds this a serious problem and wants to solve it they should go to the BTS link you provided and do reviews/sponsoring (though if you want to do the former without the latter consider https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2024/07/msg00164.html). This may also be useful experience for learning more about the problem and its causes. -- WBR, wRAR
