Debian Sponsors Project - BETA

60 sponsors are in the database
393 people that require sponsoring are in the database

Out of 254 packages:

• 1 is
• 171 are New
• 25 are Assigned
• 1 is Uploaded
• 56 are In Archive

Status

The site has been down for a while, as the machine it was on moved. Should be back to normal now.

So, what's this all about then?

Well, a while ago there was a great site that allowed sponsorees to request a sponsor, and a sponsor to take a sponsoree under their wing. It was not intended to last for years and to grow to such a size, and so died an untimely death. This site will (hopefully) replace it.

What this isn't

This is NOT a replacement for the Debian Mentors tools (mailing list, irc channel and repository). It's merely here to compliment these projects.

Current Features

Well, hopefully, by the time I've finished it, it will do things like:

• Auto update of done ITPs (DONE)
• Auto detection of ITPs by people who require sponsorship (DONE)
• Email submitter when a sponsor takes a package (DONE)

Planned features

• Auto mailing to debian-mentors@lists.debian.org with a summary of this weeks changes (a la rc bugs stylee)
