Yes, this seems to be an chicken-or-the-egg issue. There seems to be permanent resource shortages with package maintenance which means we need more contributors, and then at the same time there are hundreds of package reviews languishing, many of which need sponsors. I don't want to get too far off topic but being short handed is directly related... Does the sponsor processes need to be more formalized? Currently you must be nominated (either by someone or yourself) but there's no concrete requirements on a knowledge or skill level required to be a sponsor. To bring it to a more personal level, I have no idea if I've done or proven myself enough to become a sponsor or not. If I am deficient in an area, there's currently no formal feedback mechanism for me to know in what areas I need to improve. I can't be the only person stuck in this nebulous position...
