Hello debian-mentors, I have the following questions about sponsorship. I would like to welcome answers from sponsors and from people maintaining packages via sponsorship. Is it OK that a sponsor adds modifications to a sponsored package ?
Sometimes it needs much time to sent back the package, just because of little faults, but it is wrong to add your own modifactions, since the next time you may have the same error again in debian/ (maintainer e.g. forget to add your patch to the CVS)
Is it OK that a sponsor adds him/herself to "Uploaders" ?
As long as he isn't one of the maintainers: noIf he wants to be aware of new bugs, he also could subscribe himself to the package using the PTS
My answers are currently "no" and "no", but there may be different opinions.
