Actually, I've had a lot of trouble finding sponsors for any of my packages, despite requesting them multiple times on debian-mentors and more package-specific lists. For example, libdbus-java hasn't been sponsored since December, despite my having packaged several versions since and requested uploads for them all. I have 9 packages waiting for sponsoring; some of which are new, but several are just uploads to existing packages. For the record, I _also_ think improvements need to be made to the NM process, which I shall start working on as soon as I become a DD. I'm in the 'DAM' stage, but given I've been there for 3 weeks now with 30 people ahead of me and no progress, this might take some time.... Matt -- Matthew Johnson
