My debian sponsoring preferences

+ +

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. + +

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. :). + +

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. + + +
