<p>When sponsoring, I prefer being approached by the package
maintainer on IRC (pere on irc.debian.org and irc.oftc.net) with the

-solution to me, and I do not accumulate a large backlog of request for
-sponsoring (as would happen if I tried to gather sponsor request using
-email. :).
+URL to where the package can be downloaded. I prefer an URL to a .dsc

<p>The packages should be lintian clean and tested in pbuilder or
similar, to make sure the dependencies are correct and obvious
