Bug#513820: Proposal for a new 'needsponsor' tag
Package: debbugs Version: 2.4.1 Severity: wishlist Hello, While browsing for RC bugs to fix, I found that it is not easy to find bugs which are fixed by the maintainer but in need of a sponsor. What do you think about implementing a 'needsponsor' tag that would precisely mean that ? It could be a simple tag, or even a more complex object like the 'forwarded' system, where the maintainer could enter an URL for the fixedpackage's .dsc file (for instance on mentors). How do you like that ? Cheers, Vincent PS: I quickly browsed over bugs of debbugs and bugs.debian.org and I couldn't find any title related to sponsor. I hope I didn't miss something. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

That said, it'd be pretty easy to figure out which bugs could possibly be filled by a sponsorship upload by looking for bugs which are tagged pending and aren't fixed in unstable, but don't have maintainers or uploaders who are DDs or DMs. Don Armstrong -- A one-question geek test.
