"Reviewers" are for packages. A sponsor is the person who approves another person's request to join a group in the Fedora Account System (FAS). If the package maintainer doesn't have sponsor status (and it sounds like that), you obviously need to find somebody else to sponsor you. One common way is to submit packages for review and convince a sponsor (who will be the reviewer) that you know what you're doing with regard to RPM packaging and the Fedora Packaging guidelines. If you cannot think of any package to submit for review, you could still find a sponsor by giving a demonstration of your Fedora Packaging skills or by trying to convince sponsors with pieces of information that may be relevant (such as your contributions to the packaged software or other packages, your expertise with regard to the software project, or perhaps you like to do a couple of package reviews even if you cannot approve the packages yet). -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
