Hi Raphael,

Welcome into utnubu. The system to sponsor stuff sounds great but i
think that we need to coordinate not only with ubuntu MOTU team but
with debian mentors too and maybe debian-qa. I think you will find
useful my next mail on this list where i'll describe my work on
"merging" stuff back into Debian and the current problems we have with
it.
