About the problem I was mentioning, I did some investigation and even contacted the sponsors and mentees. But naming people on a public list would just pour oil over fire. Rather than shaming the "inactive" sponsors that do no harm, we should rather fix the lack of mentoring of our new packagers. Some people forget that you don't need to be a sponsor to mentor new packager.
