Ehm...no you don't! I had to lurk around for a long time on
debian-mentors to get anybody's time to look into any of my (defective)
packages. I did get excellent, constructive feedback, but only after 2
months of NOT being asked in a short and simple email. And I was not
even aware of the sponsoree CGI for quite a while.
Should the BTS be used for sponsorship and that becomes documented in
the New-Maintainers guide, I see great practical benefits to Raphaels
suggestion.
