I am sorry to hear you can't find a sponsor. There is definitively room
for improvements left and we're discussing possibilities to improve the
situation. The latest plan is to track sponsor requests as bugs instead.
Regarding your question, there is no strict rule. Typically people seem
to ping every few weeks again. Just don't flood the list with your
request and nobody will mind you doing a re-post.
If you file a RFS for another time, please make sure your mail reader
files a correct follow-up header to point people to previous discussions
on your package (if any). Moreover, you may want to consider to ask
relevant teams or individuals aside of formal requests to this list.
Possibly a developer maintaining packages similar to yours might be
interested to sponsor you.
Also, certain types of packages are being maintained in teams. In such
cases you should consider joining that team. Typically package
sponsoring is handled privately in packaging teams.

Which FAQ do you mean? I admit, there is room for improvement left on
mentors.d.n.

Yes, my pending change on mentors.d.n will outline the role of sponsors
and emphasize communication channels between sponsors and people looking
for team.
