I've always approached reviewing (and/or sponsoring) as taking on any additional burden, because I interpret reviewing to mean "gathering as many contributors to FOSS as possible." Once the bug report is filed, hopefully with a patch (if not, I generate the patch), I use submittodebian as necessary. > * It would be nice if submitting a fix would be easy.

For those with sponsoring privileges, it helps to have a standard. Thanks for initiating this conversation.
