Hmm.
Given that I've just seen pretty much exactly the same conversation on -devel
about a week ago, and that this keeps popping up, it's obvious that there *is*
demand for working non-free software on Debian. (I use it myself.)
Also given that given that there are a number of DDs who *do* want to sponsor
non-free (because otherwise there wouldn't be such a thing...), might I
suggest that it might be worthwhile setting up a -nonfree mailing list? This
ought to allow the relatively small number of nonfree developers to meet each
other more easily, while also keeping such things out of -mentors and -devel,
an improvement to everybody.
