Dear Amaya, I'm in no position to sponsor his packages, since I'm still awaiting DAM approval (11 months and counting). I was hoping that by joining the NM process, he would be able to find a better candidate (French speaking perhaps?) to help him learn the ropes of Debian (and advocate/sponsor, if he takes the plunge). It's pretty much the best I can do in my situation. I don't want to abandon my ITP on Agnubis altogether if he's not committed, and the only measure I have to go so far is a two month old unfinished ITP that happens to be an Agnubis dependency. I'm more than happy to give an aspiring Debian developer a break, since I know what's it's like starting out, not to mention opportunities to package promising and prominent (GNOME-office in this case) projects are rare these days.
