I don't think it's not entirely clear that by publishing a package in Fedora repositories implies 1) maintain the package updated, 2) maintain the specfile in line with future Packaging Guidelines changes and 3) get in touch with the community to handle possible bugs filed by other users which install your package. There must be a section that clearly states that if the scope is "I made this piece of software and I'll fire through Fedora repositories, then goodbye", or "I use this software, I'll push into Fedora repositories and never touch it again until this version is fine for me" there are other means to achieve that. That's the reason for having the "sponsorship barrier" at joining time, that, I know very well, it's quite scaring if you're not English mother tongue. Anyway, after a successful review of a package, one could get in touch with some sponsors by filing a ticket in the appropriate page [1] and some nice folk will help them to enter the packager group.
