This is anedoctal, but in the last month pinging debian-devel (as in this thread) or debian-go led to me uploading the following RFS's: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1087286 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1086872 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1087604 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1087183 I would not have gone looking for these RFS's without those ping's, since I'm not interested in RFS's as a general way to find new things to work on. But after seeing the ping's I decided to help on packages that happened to be some that I had some familiarity with already. So at least for these packages, ping's did increase the sponsorship rate. /Simon
