OK, so that is an issue separate to sponsors and developers.

Having/getting a sponsor will not slow down your DD process unless you are very limited in time. It may even speed up your application (it makes the T&S check easier). My personal opinion is that anyone who is in the NM queue, if they are there for packaging stuff, should be attempting a sponsored package. It shows you can package something. Your behaviour to bugs that come up or how you upgrade and maintain the package is a good "reference" for your debian maintainership. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
