Yes, this is a good step ahead. I never understood, why sponsoring is
mightier (in the view of doing harm) than proven packager. A sponsor can
elevate packagers and approve packages, a proven packager could demolish
all packages.

I thought of applying myself for sponsor, but can not substantiate, why
I should get proven packager rights.
Helping out review process for new packagers results in finding a
potential sponsor. This is some kind of suboptimal for helping people.

(To be clear, this never made a problem for me, but slows down the process.)
