Please stop posting noise that can be mistaken as invitation to break 
what I build.

Sponsoring (in the context of Debian) means reviewing, signing and 
uploading packages built by non-developers.

Sugar packages are maintained in a team, consisting of Debian developers 
and non-developers. We do not (currently, at least) work together by 
privately building final packages, passing them to a Debian developer, 
and have them (you and me) review, sign and upload them. Instead, we do 
as most (all?) Debian packaging teams do: We work together directly 
through an online revision control system, and then when we feel it is 
ready for a package release, we let one of the Debian developers build, 
sign and upload.

Or, shorter: it is not called sponsoring but ordinary package 
maintainance.

Unless of course you want us to change routines, or you redefine the 
term "sponsoring".
