Re: LTS, no-dsa reasoning and sponsored packages
Hi,
labeling it "minor issues" when the real reason is "sponsors needed"
sounds wrong to me.
I'd say "minor issues" is right for minor issues. And "sponsors needed"
is a legitimate, helpful additional information.
It seems to me, that it's not uncommon to Debian to search for a sponsor
of a package:
https://mentors.debian.net/sponsors
