[Pkg-xmpp-devel] My sponsorship guidelines once the freeze gets lifted

[W. van den Akker]

Hi,

I am looking for a sponsor for the Jabberd2 and Jabber-muc packages.
I have them already uploaded to mentors.debian.net.

http://mentors.debian.net/package/jabberd2
http://mentors.debian.net/package/jabber-muc

Hope you can sponsor my packages. Please take a look and give your
feedback.
I have contacted several times the XMPP Devel list. But did not get any
reply.
Both packages are running about 6 months on my server without any
problems.

Hope you can help.

Greetings,
Willem
