Existing packages do not have ACL's by default. This is the same as
before. In other words, it is not a regression.
Sponsors can not intervene into newly added packages!
=> this ACL crap has rendered the sponsorship model NON-APPLICABLE
This is the REGRESSION.
I for one don't see any possibility to sponsor anybody anymore and don't
see any possibility anymore to approve packages having been submitted by
new-comers.
