    While I've also seen Scott more active on IRC regarding both other
packages surrounding WINE, and non-WINE topics, this has yet to
translate to non-WINE uploads, or demonstration of packaging skills
outside of WINE.  I must say I am happy to see WINE appearing in the
sponsors queue occasionally (if typically only for very brief periods
of time and often grabbed by the same highly interested sponsors).

    Reading the results of the last application, I suspect that the
same issues raised there (small number of uploaded packages, small
number of sponsors) would be raised again.

Scott,
    While it is certainly a higher burden than is asked for many
applicants, due to the small number of packages affected, could you
please describe some of the more difficult packaging problems you've
encountered with your packages, and the methods you used to resolve
them?

    Also, as you seem to be developing greater interest and activity
in other efforts, are there any plans you have for other parts of the
distribution if you were to become MOTU?
