+        Unfortunately, the Debian Developers in the Debian GIS team are very busy. Therefore,
+        if your package requires sponsorship, you will need to follow
+        the normal Debian process and file a Request For Sponsorship (RFS) bug. The Debian
+        Mentors website is the best place to upload your package to attract sponsors, and a
+        template for your RFS bug is automatically produced:
+        <ulink url="http://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers">Debian Mentors</ulink>
+      </para>
+      <para>
+        The RFS bug should also be copied to the
+        <ulink url="mailto:pkg-grass-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org">Debian GIS Developers Mailing List</ulink>.
+        The best way to do this is to use the X-Debbugs-CC header so that the bug number is
+        included in the subject of the email to the list. Add <code>X-Debbugs-CC: pkg-grass-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org</code>
+        to your message's mail header.

+        As Debian GIS is a Pure Blend, a good way to get sponsorship is to use Andreas Tille's
+        <ulink url="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianPureBlends/SoB">Sponsoring of Blends</ulink> initiative.
+        Andreas's conditions for sponsorship are listed on that website.
