Hi,
Today I happened to look at this page:
http://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus/NEEDSPONSOR.html
from which I can see we have potentially on the order of 100 new
potential contributors to Fedora whose efforts we're missing out on
due to a lack of sponsors. Some people seem to have been waiting to be
sponsored for a couple of years. This is quite an unfortunate
situation - what can we do to improve that situation? How many
*active* packaging sponsors do we currently have?
If someone had been waiting for that long, and tried to reached out on the
mailing-list or irc, then I'd like to hear you.
I really advise people to start with smaller packages and/or reach out the list
first because, we're having a more global shortage of reviewers.
Moreover, people interested in comaintaining packages, especially *upstream*
maintainers should consider the comaintainership path.
H.
Cheers,
Jonathan.
