OK. Here I am. I just did some sponsoring including some packages for
you.

Scott K was asking you to take more initiative in fixing the bug I
highlighted (bug #1261608). I note you managed to cause some patches to
be written upstream. That is good, but I was hoping that you would then
cherry-pick these patches into a proposed package for Ubuntu. Then it
seems like there are theme problems. I don't expect you to know exactly
what to do about these (I wouldn't), but I would hope that you would try
to engage the developer(s) of the Ubuntu theme to seek a solution.

It seems that you don't fully appeciate that we were trying to press you
to not leave problems unresolved. If all else fails, removing packages
from -proposed is an option.

Having said that, the work that I've sponsored recently was of good
quality and I am pleased that you are a consistent contributor,
especially to our flavours.

I vote +1 but I want you to pay more attention to the points I raise
above. It is okay to make mistakes, but we need to own them and work,
with others if necessary, to get them resolved.

Cheers,
