Uh. At the moment, the rule of thumb is that sponsored packages should be handled and checked like one's own packages. Release critical bugs sometimes happen and we still don't revoke upload permissions. If we introduce a more fine-grained system that allows us to limit upload permissions, we can talk about restricting sponsorship privileges. I'd prefer to not discuss these matters on public mailing lists, especially not in this thread. Marc -- Not sponsored yet: http://thedailywtf.com/forums/68115/ShowPost.aspx
