You have to do some work before asking for a sponsor. You need to change bug reports 192657 and 172772 to ITA (intent to adopt). To do that send a mail message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and cc debian-devel@lists.debian.org with the following three lines: retitle 192657 ITA: fda -- C malloc debug library retitle 172772 ITA: judy -- C library for creating and accessing dynamic arrays stop After the stop line you can put your explanations, signature, etc. See: http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control Include the following line in fda's changelog file: * New maintainer. (closes: #192657) And the following line judy's changelog file: * New maintainer. (closes: #172772) Next, go and fix the oustanding fda bugs. The two fda bugs are easy. There are no bugs for judy. See: http://bugs.debian.org/fda http://bugs.debian.org/judy Repackage both fda and judy, and you'll be ready to look for a sponsor. > Greetings > Eduardo Aníbal -- Building 28C, Monash University, VIC 3800, Australia
