Right now the Sponsoring Queue solves the problem of getting patches
reviewed (and getting them in shape) for packages that have no dedicated
maintainer by subscribing knowledgeable people to them. It's part of
what I do every day.

Maybe we could improve the process, but what I described above should be
a key feature of it.

Have a nice day,
 Daniel
