+<h1>My debian sponsoring preferences</h1>
+
+<p>I am willing to sponsor packages, but generally not willing to take
+over the maintenence.  I've got too many other things going on, so I
+would do a bad job if I tried to maintain more packages.
+
+<p>When sponsoring, I prefer being approached by the package
+maintainer on IRC (pere on irc.debian.org and irc.oftc.net) with the
+URL to where the package can be downloaded.  This is a low-overhead
+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. :).
+
+<p>The packages should be lintian clean and tested in pbuilder or
+similar, to make sure the dependencies are correct and obvious
+problems are found.  I primarily sponsor packages going into
+debian/main, so if the package isn't acceptable for main, there is
+normally no need to approach me.
