Probably, because you call him NM. Erm, sorry, I don't why is that.
Maybe, he has lot's of work. You can ask for another AM if this is the
problem.

There was a 'flamewar' here about t&s, I suggest you to read that.

Well, if someone want to help he just have to do some work to has his
key signed (if not impossible), and package some software, then look for
a sponsor. Only the sequence will change to get the people think before
they apply.
Btw, you said you want to HELP. What you have packaged under that 6
months? I can't see any sponsored package. If you want to be sponsored
try to apply at the sponsorship page.
