In general i'm sure Stéphane will do a great job sponsoring (which in
most of the cases means, guarantee that the packages i will deliver have
the required quality), but on the other hand i think this whole TU group
"should" support newly accepted TU's in learning and improving their
skills.

Sponsored by this whole ArchLinux community i would like to help improve
the overall ArchLinux experience.

thx
