I'm the guy who invented sponsorship, I'm the one who wrote the sponsorhip CGI. Yes I know what I'm speaking about. I hate to be forced to say things like that. => If you have nothing against what I want to do, just trust me and let me do.

Sorry, but everything has been summarized several times already. Read the bug log again and this thread, they are not very long, you can easily make up your mind. > - What does a person in need of a sponsor for package "foo" do? File a > bug against sponsorship, with what as the subject? yes with subject "foo -- short description". He may want to add some [keyword] eventually ... either a language like [fr] or a coding language [perl] to give more information to the sponsors with just the suject. > - How does someone wanting to sponsor a single upload of package "bar" > for J. Random Hacker handle doing so, using the BTS? Using the BTS doesn't change anything here. He mails the sponsoree and the BTS to let other know that this upload is sponsored. Then he does his usual job. A sponsoree prefers a regular sponsor, so he's always looking for that until he has one. If he doesn't have any, he will have to ask each time. Not complicated, he just needs to send a mail to the bug log. > - How does someone wanting to sponsor all uploads for a person or > package use the sponsorship package? The package that are always sponsored by the same developer should be marked as fixed so that they don't show in the list of packages that are looking for a regular sponsor.
