Hi Sebastian, since you did not got any answer for your mail that definitely deserves it, I'll step in here.

I have some additional constraints which I have basically set to safe myself from taking up to many sponsorships. One constraint is that I only sponsor from some team Git repository (for instance from Debian Science[1]). Another constraint is that the package needs to fit into some Blend. That's why I have set a "Sponsering of Blends" Wiki page[2] where you get more detailed information about Blends and the "rules" of SoB. So you somehow need to find a task your package might fit into be it either in the Debian Science Blend[3] or what might also fit the 3dprinter Blend[4]. Just respond to this mail on list in case you need more information about Blends. Kind regards Andreas.
