(a) You're not holding up (yet) the C++ ABI transition for kdelibs4.
(b) You found such person, albeit with some restrictions, yesterday.
Quoting from my #debian-devel/Freenode log from 2005-07-17 (all times
UTC+2):
19:14 <Netsnipe> could anyone please help me upload/sponsor some C++
transition affected packages?
19:15 <Netsnipe> one of them is also a build-dep of KDE
19:31 <dato> Netsnipe: what does make you think that "one of them being a
build-dep of KDE" will encourage people to sponsor
you? :P
19:32 <dato> Netsnipe: anyway, I can help with openxr after Qt is sorted
out, if you haven't got sponsoring by then,
so we should be safe.
The conditions stated there make the explanation in your mail, namely "help
me, help me, or KDE won't be able to do its C++ transition", a blatant lie.
My offer still stands, though.
Have a nice day,
