Not at all.

If you are willing to mentor the new packager, then they can be sponsored
into the packager group.

If you are not a sponsor yourself, you open a ticket in fesco's trac stating
who you'd like to have sponosred and that you will be mentoring them as they
comaintain which package with you.

At this moment I don't approve him to be sponsored.
So at this moment, can he only send patches to me to co-maintain the package? Can he have git commit privilege to that single package?
