I *do* appreciate NMUs (I have just thanked Christian Perrier for his), but even when not required I creatinly prefer to be notified and be able to answer. Unfortunately, it usually takes me a lot to find new sponsors (and my usual sponsors are all overloaded). Hence, I do not get that many opportunities to do it "right". I have been yelling at -mentors for some sponsored uploads for about two months, and almost nobody responded --- I did get up-imapproxy uploaded, however. Cheers, J.L.
