This is from 2006/2007. That's more than a decade ago :) A lot of things have changed since then. If you're interested in package maintainership, please give it another go and let us know how it goes. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group I will stress again that it's about getting the community to trust that one understands the Fedora packaging pipeline and guidelines well enough. So the whole exercise should be undertaken with this in mind. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London
