Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for the package "allegro4.4", that Andreas
Rönnquist <gusnan@gusnan.se> and myself want to adopt. allegro4.2 is
orphaned and to be replaced by this package. This involves a transition
and the Release Team gave their ok for an upload to unstable (transition
bug: [1]).
We want to maintain the package with the Games Team, but since we are
running short of sponsors in the team, we also ask here for a sponsor to
get the package uploaded in time before the freeze.

If you want to sponsor the package, please enter your name in the
table on [5].
