Subject: We still need sponsors !

Hello,

most of you know that there's a (more or less official) sponsorship
system that lets official Debian developers help future maintainers
by checking their package, by giving them advices, by uploading their
packages into Debian.

It was introduced when we had problem with the New Maintainer team.
Those problems are solved today, but the sponsorship system continues
and will probably continue as long as possible since it's one of the
friendliest way to introduce the future maintainers into Debian. They
can learn faster how to make high quality packages, they know sooner
what we expect from them. But more sponsors are needed to keep it
going ... 

So, dear co-developers, please join debian-mentors@lists.debian.org and
respond to future maintainers, and sponsor those who are asking it.
Also check out the sponsor page that is listing about 30 future
maintainers who are looking for a sponsor :
