Well, the sponsor queue for main is quite big at the moment, but I guess I 
wouldn't focus too much on sponsoring, but only cherrypick from the queue.

Hm. I guess I was lying. I do have one interest apart from fixing bugs. That 
is to educate people (but I don't need upload rights for this, so I didn't 
mention this earlier *g*). One such example can be seen on [1].

I guess Jordan put it the best, when he stated that I'm a generalist. You 
know, it's hard to tell in advance what packages I'd touch. I have thought 
that I particulary would never touch X, but one of the bugs I outlined 
earlier on in this thread was a X bug that I fixed.

Well my target is still quite simple, to make Ubuntu better. In particular I'd 
start with main bugs that affect myself (as I'd then be both using the 
package, know what the bug is and how to reproduce and also know that I 
really fixed it).

For instance, on my current list would be to get printing back to work 
(however not with quite a low priority, which might change on input from my 
girlfriend though, who is affected the most by me running intrepid so far 
*g*).

Other occurances of packages which I'd upload would be e.g. mere rebuilds for 
unmet dependencies (e.g. the perl transition). Oh, and this is an interesting 
class of bugs, because for it, I can't see any value in requesting 
sponsorship.

Cheers,
     Stefan.
