As I tried to point out in a different post, my point here is *not* to make sponsoring into co-maintainance (even if I personally encourage that for anyone concreltey approaching me asking for sponsorship). There is different styles of develpment, and there is the effect on Debian as a whole. Yes, it can be argued that CDBS is hurtful for Debian as a whole, but I find that a weaker point than the one of the Debian member responsible for an upload not being explicitly available t our users - only implicitly possible to dig out of our logs somewhere and present centralized at e.g. packages.qa.debian.org.
