I haven't uploaded yet because of the lintian error:

E: code-aster-run: shell-script-fails-syntax-check
usr/lib/codeaster/asrun/data/mpirun_template
N: 
N:    Running this shell script with the shell's -n option set fails,
which
N:    means that the script has syntax errors. The most common cause of
this
N:    problem is a script expecting /bin/sh to be bash checked on a
system
N:    using dash as /bin/sh.
N:    
N:    Run e.g. sh -n yourscript to see the errors yourself.
N:

No, you don't need to go through mentor since I am ready to sponsor your packages.
There is no need to sign up to anything for this. Just commit into the
svn repository ;)

Usually, I am the one sponsoring Christophe (Trophime). I am ready to do
the same for you.
