responsibilities", which is still unanswered because it's a complex
topic. All the burden is on the shoulders of the sponsors. It's completely
up to their judgement whom to sponsor, whether to interview a new
contributor prior to approval, whether to collect and compare personal
information retrieved from web search engines, whether to insist on seeing
a demonstration of packaging skills during review of several packages,
whether to serve as a proxy for a newbie packager, whether and when to
trust somebody from the other side of the world, and so on. And still a
contributor might become hostile after months and delete group-writable
files in cvs under the umbrella of a "sorry, fat fingers" excuse. Then
it's the sponsor's duty to repair the damage.
[The new FAS is not nice to sponsors either. They need to load the
full cvsextras members list and search for the account to sponsor.

Something that resulted in time-outs the last two times I did it.
For sponsors, there doesn't seem to be a list of people you sponsored.]
