Hi,

Currently all replies to sponsorship-request bugs that are exclusively
TO or CC private emails, bug-silent, and/or bug-submitter addresses
are forwarded to debian-mentors@l.d.org.  I hypothesise that the
rationale for the current behaviour is supposed to encourage
peer-review of sponsorship-request feedback; however, is this really
occurring?  Is it really the case that *every* reply is important
enough for everyone subscribed to debian-mentors to need a copy?

The time I used to spend on (infrequent) reviews is now spent on email
management, and I wonder if this might be the case for other potential
sponsors.  Everyone wants to provide a balance between the best
on-boarding experience for new contributors and mentees.  Is it still
the consensus that forwarding/CCing everyone is the best way to
achieve this?

If now, please consider allowing opting-out of forwarding replies to
debian-mentors.

Regards,
Nicholas
