So what exactly is your reason not to use
git://git.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/<packagename>.git
as it is described in Debian Science policy?
As I said you need *good* reasons to convince me to do the SoB
sponsoring ... or just find somebody else who is not that picky about
the location of your package. If you are wondering for my "good"
reasons to insist on git.debian.org: The Blends tools are draining data
from git://git.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/ and the
sponsoring is done to propagate the Blends idea which you are failing if
you insist on using some external repository.
Kind regards
Andreas.
