(Note that if the sponsored package is new, the FTP admins will also have to
inspect it before letting it in.)
<p>
+Sponsoring merely by signing the upload or just recompiling is
+<strong>definitely not recommended</strong>. You need to build the source
+package just like you would build a package of your own. Remember that it
+doesn't matter that you left the prospective developer's name both in the
+changelog and the control file, the upload can still be traced to you.

If you are an application manager for a prospective developer, you can also
be their sponsor. That way you can also verify the how the applicant is
handling the `Tasks and Skills' part of their application.
