No need for sponsoring for two reasons: a) I got a little bit more spare
time (and sorry for being irresponsive) so there is enough for m-a
again, and b) Andreas Beckmann just volunteered as co-maintainer which
is heavilly appreciated.

Right, thanks for mentioning, I forgot to push the tags and it's solved
now. I also merged your branch, and added you and Andreas to the
Uploader list.
@Andreas: would you like to pull the trigger? ;-)
There are make targets for pristine-tar added by the previous
comaintainer which kinda work but please don't ask me for a comment on
them since I am not the greatest git/pristine-tar user in the world.

Looks good so far.

That's ok, thanks.
