... so I just had a look at this list and noticed that there is
at least one name on there is is _already_ a developer for several
months. (I know, 'cause I sponsered a couple of his uploads before
that). I would be surprised if there was only one person still
listed who no longer needs a sponsor.
Clearly, people on this list are forgetting to remove themselves,
despite the handy button to do so right on the page.
Please: if you ever signed yourself up to find a sponsor,
but no longer need one, do take a moment to visit
http://www.internatif.org/bortzmeyer/debian/sponsor/
and remove yourself.
Thanks,
-Steve
P.S. I thought it would be a good idea to ping everyone still listed
on the sponsorship page periodically (say once a month) to check if
they still need a sponsor. Is this already done, perhaps? If not, do
debian-sponsors@internatif.org wish to do so?
