After FESCo approval of https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1499 I have modified the review process document: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process to indicate that any packager is welcome to complete the initial package review(s) for a new contributor. Contributors still need to find a sponsor as normal, and the FE-NEEDSPONSOR ticket should still be blocked as before. Because this may leave contributors in a state where they have accepted packages but have not been sponsored, I have added a small amount of process to the sponsors trac: https://fedorahosted.org/packager-sponsors/ Packagers who have one or more approved packages but who have not yet been sponsored are welcome to file tickets there under the "New sponsorship request" component so that all of the sponsors are notified of the situation. If I could figure out how to get Trac to let me specify ticket templates per component I'd ask applicants to include links to the relevant review tickets, but that will have to come later. - J< -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
