And what about the benefits of controling when the bug is fixed (i.e., the sponsor has been accepted by a developer), to have a list of people requesting an sponsor at a glance, to check the activity of an sponsor, and probably more benefits i forget? I requesteed an sponsor using the cgi and eventhough I have found an sponsor, my entry is still there, and actually no one contacted my by using the CGI entry. > > But the benefits are real > > Proof by assertion?

OTOH you > don't need to convince me, I have no special priviliges anyway. *following an sponsor: possible problems, possible solutions. *closing an sponsor when has been done. *asking for an sponsor by using a common tool: reportbug. *checking if someone else has requested the sponsor by using a common tool: reportbug. *closing an sponsor bug when sponsored using common tools: closes #. I think there are enough reasons there, but i am sure I can find more.
