                Matthew Palmer announced a new version of his very good Mentors FAQ on the 
debian-mentors list.
I've made several updates to the debian-mentors FAQ in the last few days,                                                                                                
including making mention of sponsors.debian.net, pointing to some revision                                                                                               
control howtos, a comprehensive description of native vs non-native                                                                                                      
packages, and a pointer to the REJECT-FAQ (with a list of things to check                                                                                                
for in packages before upload).

thank all of them for their contributions.                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                                         
I'd encourage every new and prospective maintainer to check out the FAQ, and                                                                                             
if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve the FAQ further, I will                                                                                                  
endeavour to incorporate your suggestions quicker than I have in the recent
