Well, I guess we shouldn't make upload rights dependent on the number of sponsored uploads. Although I fear that 4 uploads are just not enough to rate the skills of a person. But there is another point that disturbs me a bit. Shaun is also speaking about "little instruction", which is more then no instructions, which I think shouldn't be possible for someone who wants to upload to Debian on his own.
