Well, we would tell that if we implemented the idea of aj to give limited
upload rights to some people. (My sentence was implicitely conditional)

Yeah but after 3-4 uploads a new package has usually reached a level of
quality where the sponsorship doesn't bring mean much more and is more of
a burden than a really useful check.
So what else (apart from the work of creating the package) do we want from
the maintainer before we grant him upload rights limited to the package he
created / took over?

Me neither ... the interesting thing to discuss is what we want to check
before we grant those limited rights and not what we're discussing right
now. Bernhard seems to ignore the problems of the NM system that are
acknowledged by almost everybody.
