A couple of my sponsors are pretty busy. Sometimes they are pretty
quick in dealing with my packages, but once in a while, I have to prod
them several times. I appreciate the work that they do (they've caught
a few bugs that I've made), but I think it will be easier for both of us
when I can finally do the uploads on my own.

I think that if we add more developers, the amount of work will increase
faster. People usually don't become Debian Developers in order to help
with packages or adopt packages. Most people become DDs in order to
maintain their own packages.
