Hi!

You do not need a sponsor to upload to that repo, you can upload yourself
directly to kdetrunk (work repo) and then pull it to the another repo.
The best here is you join us in IRC and we guide you, we do not have any
write up instructions about this.

I thought you were building against the packages in kdetrunk that are already
4.7.2.
Also, based in my experience, I advise you it is not a good idea to upload
packages to the debian archive until there is at least a RC. (this advise
only goes with Calligra, not in general)
