That's not really within the scope of the document. I haven't proposed
lowering the standards for reviewing packages.

I think there is quiet a group of experienced packagers, who do not
consider themselves provenpackers, but who would like to help out and
sponsor people. I know I'm one of those.

Especially with fedora-review as a base for the mundane work, it should
be a relatively easy (and fun!) task to bring on more people.

exactly, I fully agree. I think, we should lower the barrier to become a sponsor, maybe dropping the necessity to become a proven packager first. In many cases that is really not needed; a sponsor could/should become co-maintainer of the first packages of a new packager.
Using a co-maintainer status between packager and sponsor seems a good
idea to me. It would help in cases where new packagers vanish.
