Even if you haven't got a sponsor yet, RFS submitters should still be
maintaining the packages as they would if they were in the archive.
That means updating to new upstreams, fixing any review comments,
checking with new versions of lintian, running static analysis tools
and fixing issues etc. Those updates should prevent you from ever
hitting the inactivity timeout on mentors. If you really have nothing
to do, you could still bump the changelog and RFS every now and then,
while also spending some more time looking for sponsors.
