In my opinion it is always better to ask for sponsor via public mailing list
like @deiban-mentors is, keeping need a sponsor `YES' in mentors webpage,
simply because more that one sponsor could review and upload your package. I
intend to sponsor cppcheck and I'm subscribed to that mailing list. Expect
upstream wishlist bugs soon ;-) I'm still not sure if cppcheck could employ a
formal grammar and parser generators (like bisonc++) to implement various
checks, but that is a separate mail I intend to throw at you as upstream at
some point.

This in fact is my fault, since I forgot to pass -v option to
dpkg-buildpackage in order to include your previous changelog entries. could
you please close it manually, otherwise I will close it when pakcage hits
unstable.

Package is now hanging in Debian's NEW queue (since is new package which needs
to be approved by ftpmasters /*these are humans*/)
http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html
then the package will be passed to autobuilders /*these are daemons*/ to be
built on Debian's architectures.
http://buildd.debian.org/build.php
then comes installation to unstable (sid).

Residing ten days in unstable without criticals bugs filed would lead to
migration to testing, when testing is not frozen as it is now.
