Sorry for not being clearer, but no. I think that a central repository and/or sponsors team is quite important to ensure that our sponsors aren't being pestered by disparate people. Organisations already find the concept of Debian's distributedness quite hard to grasp, so I think that this contact point would be useful. However, with the example of sprints, then it's certainly useful for local sponsorship to happen. I'd like to ensure it's easy for people to see if some sponsor is being handled by a central team, but that shouldn't bind people to a requirement that all requests go through there - rather that the central team should be kept in the loop. I wouldn't want my employer to offer me the office for a weekend, but then me having to ensure approval happens for Debian to use it. Neil --
