Well, we would tell that if we implemented the idea of aj to give limited upload rights to some people.

Yeah but after 3-4 uploads a new package has usually reached a level of quality where the sponsorship doesn't bring mean much more and is more of a burden than a really useful check. So what else (apart from the work of creating the package) do we want from the maintainer before we grant him upload rights limited to the package he created / took over? > not sure if this discussion is going anywhere Me neither ... the interesting thing to discuss is what we want to check before we grant those limited rights and not what we're discussing right now. Bernhard seems to ignore the problems of the NM system that are acknowledged by almost everybody.
