It is the sponsor's responsibility to monitor and mentor the person they've sponsored, and they make the decision about who they wish to sponsor. (And here I'm talking about the packager group only, not any other group which also has sponsors and which may have their own rules.) It is true that one significant path to this is the submission of new packages. I don't think you'll find it anywhere documented that the only possible path is the submission of new packages.

If you're a sponsor, you just go to the account system and sponsor them (assuming they've already applied, of course). The procedure isn't any different than any other situation where someone is sponsored into a group.

" That's the document on submitting new packages, yes. As such, you can expect that it talks about submitting new packages. - J< -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
