Hi.
After some time looking at some commonly complained lack of details in
requests for sponsoring, I took a few minutes and came up with the
template attached to this mail, based on the comments on top of what
mentors.d.n suggests.
This is all the information that I would like to know if I were
sponsoring packages from someone else and I think that others could,
perhaps, appreciate it.
The separation of parts of the document is also something to get more
legibility.
OK, I will stop now and just let you see it. Comment it. Modify
it. Adopt it. Trash it. It is yours.
Regards,
