Welcome to Fedora community. There are a few steps each of us (well,
at least most of us) went through to become sponsored.
Basically you need to show that you can perform certain tasks such a
packaging some software and cooperate with the reviewer who's going to
review your package. The reviewer must be a sponsor for the first
timers.
Doing some reviews of the packages from other packagers will
familiarize you with Fedora procedures and show that you can follow
the basic guidelines.

Let the games begin.
