Then again the system is broken. If second class applicants can be
expected to work through a sponsor while they wait, so can the
applicants working on the above packages.

I am free to have and voice my own opinion on the matter. And it's
actually the Debian Developers' calls to make, if I understand things

changed. However, you seem to be perfectly happy with the situation as
it is.
