Initial mailings to the list are great, especially as its clear you've done some groundwork already. It looks like someone has already reviewed one of your packages. I would advise persistence in getting them reviewed and accepted. There is plenty of info on the wiki which will hopefully help. #fedora-devel on IRC is also very helpful, especially when it isn't getting spammed. :) -- Christopher Brown -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
