Well, you could have tested them after making the changes, apparently
you didn't check them, and in your email you're only saying it's my
fault, come on... So easy to complain about the sponsor whereas the
sponsoree is usually the person who knows the packages the most.
On the other hands, it's also my fault because if I could have tested it
myself, I would have probably figured it out, meaning that I obviously
don't know enough about these packages to upload them, so I should not
do it again, this was a mistake... Sorry about that.

Stop arguing and complaining, it's getting really tiresome. For example,
you spent a lot of time to complain about adding Homepage and
Vcs-Browser fields, whereas you could have just added them instead. I'm
getting so tired of your attitude, because most sponsorees just say
thanks for taking care of details, but you're the only one I know who is
arguing so loudly.
Yes, adding debian/clean was perhaps a mistake, but if we didn't do such
changes, we would have got many serious bugs when rebuilding the
archive (and again, see the bug report we got for another package which
was reproducible with *ALL* or almost all the packages you prepared).

When you will be able to upload the packages yourself, you can upload
anything you want, but now that's not the case.
Anyhow, as I said above, 1/ I'm not a good sponsor for Zope package as I
don't know/use them enough, 2/ I'm so tired of you complaining and
arguing for nothing, therefore, feel free to find another sponsor (BTW,
I did the uploads just to help because nobody else seemed to care enough
to sponsor them...).
