Re: List of (un)sponsored packages on Mentors (approximate)
Personally I would prefer to keep m.d.n simple and not having all of
REVU's "features". I'm giving some comments on the features and how I
would prefer to be added to m.d.n

Instead of only using dates (not to mention the lack of year) it
should also display the package version. And I don't think it would be
very useful to keep all versions (maybe only the comments and purge
them after some time).

This depends on the definition of 'archiving'. It would be nice to
have the package deleted from m.d.n when it is uploaded so maintainers
are able to choose the package sponsor's status (e.g. when looking for
a sponsor).

As I said above, maybe useful to keep them for some versions and
during a period of time.

By the way, is there any way to make sure that the person marking a
comment as 'advocating an upload' is really a DD (or in REVU's case
UD, if that's how they call them :-/ )

I think it is easier to download the package files and check
everything in the local computer than browsing every single file with
a web browser. Otherwise I would expect the online file viewer to have
syntax colouring and that kind of things.

What kind of checks does it perform?
