I think you need a plan for how you will convince potential sponsors that you understand the packaging guidelines and can do a good job of maintaining a Fedora package. The usual ways of doing that are to make new packages of good quality and submit them for review, and to do informal reviews of others' packages. (You're not allowed to do formal reviews before you're sponsored, but you can always comment on review requests.) Those are just the usual ways though. Any way that works is good. One thing that I would want to see if I were a sponsor would be an RSSH package where all known security bugs are fixed, not as a new package but as a fixed version of the old package. If the current upstream maintainer doesn't want to continue maintaining RSSH, then a good way of showing that you're serious about keeping it alive would be to take over upstream maintenance. You might want to coordinate that with package maintainers in other distributions.
