Since you say you're a newcomer I hope you understand the sponsorship we're talking about here is nothing to be exchanged. It's just the process of uploading a package that somebody made by some other which has permissons to upload it to Debian archive: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq#What.27s_a_sponsor.2C_why_do_I_want_one.2C_and_how_do_I_get_one.3F > If the package x-tile is still up for adoption I would like to > maintain it. > > I am a newcomer in the debian community. > I also have a couple of my own applications that I would like > to package for debian in the future. > > That said, I've been using linux for the last 5 years and have a > strong background in C/Fortran/Python. Do you plan to apply for maintainer/developer¹? Have you made any Debian package²? The idea is that you must be able to do the maintenance completely by yourself in a near future. It's preferably that you try to package something first so you roughly understand the whole picture than trying to understand packaging made by somebody. Said that, it also depends on your skills, so if you're able to make a new package for x-tile (eventually addressing current bug) and upload it to mentors³ I'll be glad to review it. regards, ¹ http://nm.debian.org/ ² https://wiki.debian.org/IntroDebianPackaging ³ http://mentors.debian.net/ -- Ricardo Mones ~ Don't take the name of root in vain. /usr/src/linux/README
