I will not cc the bug report, cause I think is useless to pollute the bts with a consensus discussion on the way of handling sponsorship. Probably debian-newmaint is a better place to discuss, but I'm not subscribed, so please excuse my post here. [ Feel free to move this discussion there ... ] IMO a BTS based approach is a nice idea expecially for the availability of history (usefull for the AM) and (even if less important) because it's more 'official' than the current CGI approach to my eyes. Anyway pollute the BTS with sponsorship request/response is a bit bad, BTS is a bug tracking system, and I hard see request/response cycles fit well in it: it's an hack (I know this can be a good point to use the BTS for us :-) Anyway we have the BTS sources and engine up and running is pretty easy to set up another one with almost no pain [1] that we can use only for sponsorship. Just put it somewhere like sponsor.debian.org. My 0.02 EUR [1] I know few of the BTS but I suppose sources are in the debian cvs and that the handling is cron based. I volunteer to set up sponsor.debian.org if we reach such a consensus, even if I suppose I don't old enough unix permissions to do that ... -- Stefano Zacchiroli - undergraduate student of CS @ Univ.
