Well, my opinion is: go for it. IMHO it's a lot easier to sponsor someone who already has shown his/her packaging skills. It's just less work for the sponsor... providing the review is of good quality. Now, of course the package won't make it into the repo before the packager has been sponsored. -- Susi Lehtola Fedora Project Contributor jussilehtola@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
