There is sponsoring, and there is team maintainance.  They are two 
different styles of working together.

With sponsoring you maintain your package alone, and then hand it over 
to someone with upload rights who "sign" your package (after inspecting 
its sanity and perhaps requesting you to improve some things or doing 
some improvements themselves).

With team maintainance you work on a package - maybe alone, maybe with 
others in the team, and when you/they feel the package is ready for 
release you shout here at the list for someone with upload rights to 
finalize and upload.


The difference is not only in concrete working style, but also in who 
takes responsibility towards the users in the wuality assurance of the 
package: A team or a single developer.


Since you mention that you are part of our team (sorry - I did not know, 
I am lousy at keeping track of such things), I guess what you really 
want is not "sponsoring" at all, but just some fellow team member to 
help finalize and upload :-)

What is your own preference here?

Do you want to continue using CDBS if that is acceptable, or do you not 
like CDBS and prefer yourself to get rid of it?

If the first, then I will be happy to work with you - I only use CDBS 
and is quite happy with it.  If the latter then I will rather not spend 
time on this, but leave it to others in this team to work with you :-)


Kind regards,

  - Jonas
