Hi,

I also know a Debian dev who can occasionnally be a sponsor. Anyway, when the time
comes, when "sitting" regularly on the #debian-mentors chan can help find one, while
asking help, asking questions, talking about the project.

The first part would be to get through all the docs, links, and help from the
debian-mentors people, so to be able to first present a package done with the Debian way,
once uploaded to the Debian mentors repository, and also once the program installed and
checked working for Debian equally, (just a detail, right? ;-) ) and among other things,
walked through the Lintian warnings.

Best regards,
Mélodie
