ACK. My personal policy is to sponsor only packages from some team space in Salsa for various reasons, mainly because: 1. The sponsee should feel connected to some team to make me as sponsor "replaceable" by other team members. 2. Its way easier if I commit some slight changes to Git myself and write extensive commit messages than asking the sponsee to do change XY and move it to mentors again. I'm fine with using some sub-namespace (never worked with this in other teams but it might be appropriate here). Kind regards Andreas. -- https://fam-tille.de
