OK, not a hard requirement but a "penalty" in that omitting it reduces the chances of actually getting a sponsor. Right now, I'm looking for as many filters as possible until I can make more time available for sponsoring, whilst also trying to help maintainers make it easy for me to spot the packages that I *will* sponsor (RC bugs). Another pointer is to post to the RC bug report that a package with a possible fix has been uploaded to mentors - some maintainers do that already, so well done to those people. Also consider adding a comment on the unofficial RC bugs page: http://bts.turmzimmer.net/details.php?bydist=both&sortby=packages&ignmerged=on&igncontrib=on&ignnonfree=on&new=7&refresh=1800 > > (and if any DD can remember how to fix oldpeople sites to show up on > > people again, let me know - the ordinary fix has not worked) > > scp/rsync your public_html from gluck.d.o -> yourpc -> ravel.d.o.
