Hi Sebastian,

it, I'll step in here.

I confirm that you have choosen the correct procedure to ask for
sponsoring by using mentors.d.n and ask on a potentially interested
mailing list.
I have some additional constraints which I have basically set to safe
myself from taking up to many sponsorships. One constraint is that I
only sponsor from some team Git repository (for instance from Debian
Science[1]). Another constraint is that the package needs to fit into
some Blend. That's why I have set a "Sponsering of Blends" Wiki page[2]
where you get more detailed information about Blends and the "rules" of
SoB. So you somehow need to find a task your package might fit into
be it either in the Debian Science Blend[3] or what might also fit the
3dprinter Blend[4].
Just respond to this mail on list in case you need more information
about Blends.
Kind regards
Andreas.
