So you think public shaming is the way to bully people into sponsoring more 
packagers? <SARCASM>That's sure going to increase the quality of 
sponsorship!</SARCASM>

I can easily hit the "sponsor" button on 10 random people a week to make 
your metrics happy, without any kind of package review or mentoring. But I 
don't think that is going to help the project at all, so I DON'T want to do 
that!
