  Right now you need to have a sponsor to look over your packages then
 upload them for you.  After that this sponsor may well decide that
 having worked with you they wish to become your mentor.

  The msmtp tarball I downloaded contains multiple copies of the source
 and doesn't look like a pristine upstream source.

  (eg. It contains a debian directory, inside which is another copy of
  the source, and inside that there is yet another debian directory).

  The wmnetload package I couldn't download:

  	You don't have permission to access /debian/wmnetload-1.3.tar.gz
	on this server.
