I would suggest that you follow the Python team FAQ about sponsoring: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonModulesTeam/HowToJoin#Request_For_Sponsorship So, when you file an RFS, XCC the debian-python list, add it to the IRC channel topic, mention the RFS and add it to the TODO wiki page. https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting#xcc > This is not an isolated case unfortunately, and my personal motivation > is suffering as a result. You can also ping the folks who sponsored the package before: $ who-uploads python-mechanicalsoup Uploads for python-mechanicalsoup: 0.7.0-1 to unstable: Gianfranco Costamagna <locutusofb...@debian.org> 0.6.0-1 to unstable: Anton Gladky <gl...@debian.org> Debian's general lack of people regularly doing sponsorship is a long standing problem that needs a change of culture to fix. In recent years it has been changing a bit as new people dedicate some of their Debian time to sponsoring. We still have some way to go though. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
