Package: sponsorship-requests
  Severity: normal

  Dear mentors,

  To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  http://mentors.debian.net/package/mariadb-10.0
  http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-mysql/mariadb-10.0.git;a=log
  https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/MySQL/MariaDBPlan

  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

    dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mariadb-10.0/mariadb-10.0_10.0.10-1.dsc

  More information about MariaDB packaging can be obtained by asking
me by e-mail, I promise to reply quickly.

The packaging is very similar to that of mariadb-5.5, already in
Debian, but that sponsor has so many packages and is not available for
reviewing mariadb-10.0 in the forseeable future, thus I am now
requesting for a new sponsor the help me with mariadb-10.0.

As everything can be compared to existing and accepted mariadb-5.5,
the task of sponsoring my 10.0 should be relatively trivial. In
general the Debian MySQL team is low on manpower, so a new sponsor
here is desperately needed.
