Subject: Lack of response about sponsorship

Hello developers and packagers,

I recently received an email from the reporter[1] from rhbz #913289.
related to the sponsorship. The review was done. One of sponsors promised to take care of that step
which never came to fruition. It has been more than two months the original reporter asked if there is a sponsored packager willing to take over the package.

Considering the reporter is also a entrepreneur who took the time to port some of upstream packages to Fedora, I am utterly disappointed by the lack of communication from the sponsors for a simple task. The fact the reporter vainly tried to ask for sponsorship leaves a negative impression as if the communication are uninterested to bring more contributors outside Fedora.

The way to get sponsored seemed harder because not everybody has the luxury to wait on IRC channel[2]. New contributors have tendency to use mail list so better clarifications are needed.

I understand each one of us is busy with their life but a simple message would suffice to let know about the status. Is there a better way to address this concern to avoid repeating it in the future?
