"At least one sponsor from each team" would be simpler and easier.
To organize, can we add the entry of "sponsor" under the Details section 
of each team?

It says in TQSG 2.9.2 'Introducing your self';
"Post a short self introduction 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Join/SelfIntroduction/ to the 
fedora-trans-list mailing list and to the list of your local team."

However current 2.6.4 'Joining the cvsl10n Group' is not clear enough.
"An administrator is notified of your application, and offers to sponsor 
you. This may take between an hour and a few days. The membership 
notification will be emailed to you once sponsored."

So shall we amend to?;
"All administrators are notified of your application. Introduce yourself 
by following the section 2.9.2. Then your language administrator offers 
to sponsor you. This may take between an hour and a few days. The 
membership notification will be emailed to you once sponsored.

Is anyway that we can send the message to those people, asking to follow 
the process which they might accidentally skip?

Then for those who still do not respond, we can safely deny them.
