This isn't about a financial sponsorship but package sponsoring, i.e. uploading a package as a Debian Developer on behalf on the person who created the package and doesn't have upload rights themselves.

I'm actually about to buy such a scale with USB and I would therefore be interested in sponsoring this package. Let me know if you're interested. Adrian -- .''`.

Bug#1033888: ITP: usbscale -- read weight data from a USB scale
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: John Scott Tags: newcomer X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name : usbscale Upstream Contact: Eric Jiang * URL : https://github.com/erjiang/usbscale * License : GPL 3.0 or any later version Programming Lang: C Description : read weight data from a USB scale This package provides a utility one can use to read data from various USB scales, ones which are sold as postage scales in particular. Even though the program is very small, I still think it belongs in Debian. As far as I know, there are no applications in Debian that are capable of reading this sort of data. With usbscale, it's easy for medium-volume mailers to have scripts or utilities that talk to usbscale and, say, do automatic postage price computation. I use this application sometimes. I'm not a Debian Developer and will need a sponsor. I can't think of any pertinent teams to maintain it in, but since it's a small package, I see no problem with maintaining it on my own. I am familiar with Debian Packaging and will probably be able to get this out in the next few days. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
