I assure you no one will mind having one hang around. PPAs are nice to
have around, even if you don't use them.

I have one that I use for stuff like this, it's not like it's a burden
on the system.

I suggest you use a PPA, that's the best way to get sponsored in Ubuntu,
IMHO.

After all, they'll get built for a few arches, on the PPA farm, whereas mentors
will just hold the source. You'd be doing your sponsor a favor!

Launchpad's PPA system will work great. Use that! :)
