Hi all DD's
Debian Mentors[1] always struggles to find available Debian Developers for final reviewing and sponsoring of packages submitted too our part of the project.
We believe some packages are ready or very close to the quality for sponsorship and we would request any DD who has the time and is willing, to have a look at one or more of the packages below and possibly sponsor them into Debian.

Hi!
https://mentors.debian.net/package/uriparser/ https://mentors.debian.net/package/mailgraph/
This is the same maintainer, I can take this on.
https://mentors.debian.net/package/selint/
I have worked with this maintainer before, I can help him now too.
After this Hexwalk still needs a mentor.
Hi,
Support this become a weekly thing or a monthly thing.
Can mentors.debian.net sent package list to debian-devel automatically?

One thing I'm missing on mentors.d.n is that I it does not advertise
existing teams. It happened from time to time that there was some
sponsoring request of Debian Science, Debian Med or Debian Python Team related packages (surely others I did not notices). Asking on the
relevant lists very easily helps getting the package in question
sponsored. I have a personal sponsoring policy that I only sponsor from
a Git repository in a team I'm working in. This has the advantage I can easily help by pushing some commit with extensive comment to teach the sponsee in some direct way. Making a sponsee aware how to work together
with a team inside Debian is IMHO very important.
Thus I would welcome if there could be some explicit hint to mentees
to relevant teams.

Note that "Offer your package directly to relevant teams and individual developers." is sugested on https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers/
and https://mentors.debian.net/sponsors/
After reading a number of comments to the email below, I thought I would provide a bit of context for this email and Phil’s excellent work on Mentors.
Recently Phil has taken it upon himself to triage every package that requests
sponsorship on mentors.debian.net. Here is an example of the work he does:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2024/07/msg00032.html
When he feels a package is ready for sponsorship, he indicates that with an email to the list.
https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2024/07/msg00024.html
In some cases, nobody picks these up. The email below was sent to debian- devel with a curated list of packages that Phil has already reviewed and feels
are ready for a DD to sponsor.
At any point, anyone can look at all of the packages on Mentors requesting a sponsor.
https://mentors.debian.net/
But I have found Phil’s work to be very helpful, as I have limited time to handle sponsorships. When I look at a package Phil has endorsed, I can be sure that the simple and obvious things have already been taken care of.
I would heartily hope that Phil continues to send periodic emails to debian- devel with lists of packages that he considers ready, but that are languishing
on the vine because nobody has noticed them. I would also encourage anyone else to get involved in this process if they feel so inclined. I think that one of the most important aspects of attracting people to Debian is to make it
easy for someone who is not yet a DD or DM to submit packages and have them be
reviewed promptly. There is probably nothing as demotivating to a first-time
contributor as putting a lot of effort into a package, having it be in good shape, and then never having it be sponsored simply because it didn’t get noticed.

P.S. Based on Phil’s work on Mentors and my interactions with him, I have advocated for him to become a Debian Developer, uploading. I think his contributions to Debian will be even more impactful when he can sponsor the packages he feels are ready.

As one of those who received help from Phil who kindly helped review my packages and finding potential sponsors, I want to take this opportunity
to thank Phil again for his kind works and Gianfranco for sponsoring
many of my packages.
With that said, I want to echo Soren's word that I believe what Phil and Gianfranco has been doing is greatly helpful for new and potential
Debian Maintainers, and it would be great that this process can have
more people involved and get improved to make the review and sponsor
process smoother.
I could go ahead with selint (on salsa) but to my surprise selinux team does not

The 'request access' button is now available once clicked on the button with three dots on the top right, and on mobile this seems to be a "More actions" button instead of thw three dots one. IIRC this change has happened since before the last few

Hi,
I wholehearted agree that Phil is doing a lot of good work here and that
it is helpful to all parties involved in d-mentors. From my PoV, what
Phil does is so valuable that ideally we would provide it to all
sponsored maintainers with minimal latency. For me, that means
automating most of what Phil does. Ideally all, but I am not sure all
the things Phil does are trivial to automate where we are now.
But I have found Phil’s work to be very helpful, as I have limited time to
handle sponsorships. When I look at a package Phil has endorsed, I can be sure that the simple and obvious things have already been taken care of.
Thinking a bit more on this and its long term sustainability, I think we have a spot here where we could automate the process a lot. If we look
at the list of things Phil does:
1. Build:
Automate-able if we had good sandboxes/throw away build machines.
2. Lintian:
I think mentors.d.o already does this. But it only works on the
artifacts uploaded and Phil probably enriches this.
3. Licenses:
While ideally, we would want this to be automatic, I think we do not
have a good solution to this and I doubt we get it any time soon.
Though an 80/20 might be in our grasp for someone interested and
I do not think it would need to depend on 1).
4. Build Twice (sudo pbuilder build --twice <package>.dsc):
Automate-able once 1) is solved.
5. Reproducible builds (reporotest):
Trivially automate-able once 1) is solved.
6. Install/Upgrade:
It sounds like something piuparts would check, so I assume this is
all solvable once 1) is complete.
7. Curating packages that pass these checks to various prospective
sponsors (such as the mail we are all replying to)
These automations would not replace Phil since Phil in "failure" cases provides suggestions on how to move forward. This part we would ideally automate as well, but that is a much harder problem for most of these checks. Still, having a "red/green" marker would enable newcomers to
figure out where they need more effort or assistance.
The salsa-CI pipeline basically does most of these (3+7 being very clear exceptions, do not remember if 4 is covered by salsa-ci, but adding it
would probably easy) and that infrastructure already has "no trust" code execution flows. Another alternative might be leveraging debusine if
that can do the same and is intended for this purpose (did not check).
In theory, we can reduce this to a already solved problem by linking the RFS/mentors entry with the relevant CI pipeline report where possible
and a "Consider using the salsa-CI pipeline" check. Might need
tag2upload or dgit (assuming these support mentors.d.o), since that
would make the commit visible. Additional bells and whistles can be
added to the salsa-CI pipeline in the form of a small machine readable report output that mentors.d.n could render if necessary (etc.)
I do think it could be a major improvement our sponsorship work flow for both sponsors and sponsored maintainers.
1) We promote a streamlined packaging workflow that a large portion of
Debian already follows and leverage existing infrastructure. Any
updates to our workflow would appear into the sponsor workflow
checklist workflow because they are the same underlying checks.
2) The workflow provides most of these checks with low latency
automation and would save the sponsored maintainers RFS +
mentors.d.o upload round trips.
3) The process would be a lot more sustainable, since most of it would
be automatic.
Obviously, on paper is doable but it might require ironing out a lot of bends or even not be possible at all. Sadly, I am not volunteering to do
it (got too much on my plate already). However, I am putting the idea
out there in case someone has time and interest in working on this area.
I think the primary risk (problem to solve) is linking the mentors.d.o upload to a git commit on salsa and the related pipeline data for that.
As said, I hope tag2upload/dgit could be part of the solution here (not
sure how those will cope with mentors.d.o versions being a lot more
mutable than regular uploads). For everything else, I think most of the heavy lifting have already been done and "just" a matter of gluing it
all together.
P.S. Based on Phil’s work on Mentors and my interactions with him, I
have
advocated for him to become a Debian Developer, uploading. I think

One thing that has disrupted my use of https://mentors.debian.net/ for sponsoring is that I am unable to log in. I don't get any of the "sign
up" or "reset password" emails.
Thank you for the kind words. I agree whole heartedly with your comments that more people getting
involved to make for a better Debian mentors would be good. Debian mentors is a great place to be
around and we all learn something being involved.

Thanks to you and all your work for mentors.d.n. Just to clarify my
mail about connecting to teams (which is done as I learned in response):
I did by no means intended to lower the importance of mentors.d.n in
general for Debian and newcomers.
Thanks again

It could. There is actually an issue for that[1], but no one has worked
on it yet.
Note that, there is also an api on mentors[2], that an external
provider could use that to craft and send those weekly reports
automatically.

It is only just July. He got rejected in May once - that's a bit too

FTAOD I closed this process without interacting DAM or Joerg and not

I'm really happy that you're trying to work on making mentors.d.n more proficient and active, and I'm also happy that you didn't get
demotivated by the different exchanges we collectively had in the past.
As Joerg stated, we'll probably need to have a chat about the reasons
that led to the initial rejection and your thoughts on the whole
thing. That being said, I won't go into details publicly and I do hope
that you'll indeed come back to us in a few months so we can try going forward.
In the meantime, I'd like to express my gratitude for your commitment.
Bests,
