Yes, I think this is a major issue. Ubuntu just feels much friendlier to many people. (In addition, I had the experience of a Debian sponsor bailing out half-way through the process, with no-one else stepping in. That's when I decided that perhaps the Ubuntu route would be less painful). So if you decide that people should take their packages on REVU and submit them to Debian, I guess that many would appreciate some help finding a Debian sponsor, rather than being dumped in unknown territory. > There may be a package from months ago that would greatly benefit > the community, and one that is a week old may only be used by one > user. Keep in mind though that quite often the people who would benefit from a package being accepted are not the ones to hang out on REVU. That is, I suppose, another reason why some packages simply never get reviewed: even though the packager knows that his work would be appreciated by many others, none of those potential users do reviews on REVU.
