I fully agree with the above. I occasionally sponsor packages. I don't sponsor NMU packages when they contain changes that don't conform to the NMU procedure. I understand that it is difficult for non-DDs to salvage packages via NMUs. I prefer that an unmaintained package is simply orphaned, so that the non-DD can adopt the package with full maintainership. Much easier to sponsor.
