Hello Ralf! > Thanks, Flo. May I cite few lines from the quoted URL: > > Towards sponsors: "You are listed as the maintainer - it's your > reputation on the line too. " Err, this refers to the person who is searching for a sponsor, not to the sponsor him-/herself. > Towards people looking for advocates: "There is no point asking for an > advocate on debian-mentors or any other open mailing list. No developer > should be willing to advocate for you without knowing something about > you. " I'm not searching for an advocate (yet). Sponsors and advocates aren't necessarily the same, though quite commonly a sponsor might act as an advocate. > I suppose, these lines might frighten possible sponsors or advocats. Those people know the hassles well enough ;) > Being no debian-developer myself, I can't say, how difficult it is to > become one, but, to me, this seems to be the most straightforward > thing...
