    I'm not necessarily convinced this would help anything. If there
were active people, getting DM status (enough for uploading packages)
shouldn't be that hard.

    As you might have noticed, I've recently joined the team and if
there were some sponsoring requests I guess I could handle a few of them
per week quite easily right now (supposed I feel able to handle them
wouldn't upload e.g. clc probably).
