FWIW, I am willing to do sponsoring. I very (_very_!) seldom get requests (and I won't sponsor packages that are just lying around in the repository, of course - I do require an explicit request). I assumed requests would appear on the IRC channel (to which I am again a regular listener), but have not seen them. Anyway - People, feel free to bug me for sponsorship requests. _______________________________________________ Pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers
