Just a note: FAS has no way to enforce that a sponsor in Group A is the 
person who adds someone to Group B.  So if this policy were to start off 
with sponsors from cvsextras, I'd rather that the sponsors could sponsor 
anyone for the new group (not just people they sponsored in cvsextras).

I think this also maps better to the way we currently think of sponsors: 
they're people who are considered more knowledgable and capable of 
guiding other packagers' growth.  They should be able to promote any 
other contributor not just people they've shown an interest in in the past.

Yeah, Casey is doing some great work this summer.
