Sorry for not mentioning the URL, I just mentioned its in the team
repository (a habbit carried from other team I interact with).

Sorry for not asking earlier but what is the way to ask for sponsor in
this team? Do I need to upload to mentors and give the URL or upload to
team repository and give its URL?

I want to make one thing clear I really don't want to break the
tradition of the team, if some one is willing to take care of this

This is not really the right place to discuss this, but Jonas has some
different point on your thoughts and I agree with him, if you are
interested to take up this discussion I would suggest join us on
build-common-hackers at list.alioth.debian.org.
