Quoting https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq#How_do_I_get_a_sponsor_for_my_package.3F

  Your RFS message is like an ad for your package. It's likely to be the
  only thing that prospective sponsors will judge your package on. You
  can have all the extra URLs you like in there where sponsors can get
  more information, but unless your initial message piques their
  interest, they'll never look at them.


And do know that a uploading sponsor doesn't have be at this
mailinglist. So promote the done packaging also elsewhere.
