Hi Ahmed,

There is sponsoring and there is team maintainance.

Personally I don't do sponsoring: Too often I have stumbled into 
packages in a bad shape, and then found that the package was maintained 
solely by someone not directly tied to Debian and then only "sponsored" 
into Debian.

I don't mean to say that I expect your work to be of poor quality.  Just 
that there is a higher risk of your package being poorly _maintained_ in 
the long run, when you are a) working on it alone and b) not directly 
tied to Debian (as a "Debian Developer").

Would you perhaps be interested in joining the GStreamer team, and 
packaging gst123 under that umbrella?  And perhaps even get involved in 
helping out with other GStreamer parts too?

I myself is new in this team, so please, others in this team, speak up 
if you find this a good or bad idea.


NB! I've set Reply-To to the Gstreamer team list only.  Please adjust if 
you want to reply to others too (but please don't send to me explicitly: 
I am - obviously - subscribed to the GStreamer team list).


Kind regards,

  - Jonas
