Not a bad idea, on the whole. Feel like writing this up in a webpage somewhere, sort of a "Requesting Sponsorship HOWTO". That way, anyone who does it any other way can be pointed in the right direction. > And in the body several pseudo-headers, containing information such as a > long description, the version, homepage and location of the source > packages for your proposed version. Including NM status here (where > applicable) would also be beneficial. GPG key ID, too. I'm leaning towards only accepting packages for sponsorship which are properly signed.

"Requests for sponsorship should be limited to debian-mentors and any specific mailing lists which deal with the technology of the package. Cross-posting to debian-devel is explicitly forbidden." I don't know if we can actually say "forbidden" in something like this, but we need to make it fairly strong that d-devel is not for sponsorship requests. - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
