Welcome, Thomas!
There’s a straightforward process for a packager to request sponsorship
for a prospective packager as a co-maintainer:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/How_to_Get_Sponsored_into_the_Packager_Group/#become_a_co_maintainer
Sandro, if you read through that page, agree to assume the mentorship
responsibilities normally pertaining to a packager sponsor, and file a
ticket requesting sponsorship, then a sponsor (maybe me) should take
care of sponsoring Thomas shortly.

Hi All,
my name is Thomas Zimmermann and I'm living in germany.
I'm a software developer, using RHEL 8 for developing Qt based software.
Privately I'm a openSUSE user 😉
I'm maintaining several science and electronics related packages at
openSUSE and know the basics when it comes to packaging.
As I'm relying on qt-creator from EPEL 8, I would like to support
Sandro Mani in maintaining this package.
I would like to request sponsorship, to do this, even if I don't have
an open Package Review Request. As I'm not able to create one for
Fedora EPEL (I've tried
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora%20EPEL&format=fedora-review&version=epel8
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora%20EPEL&format=fedora-review&version=epel8>
but this doesn't work)
Thanks Thomas for the introduction. To add some background here, I
actively maintain qt-creator for Fedora, which, has an EPEL brach which
was on-and-off maintained by other packagers, but currently by no-one.
qt-creator depends on packages shipped by EL, so occasionally needs to
be rebuilt, but currently I only notice this when people submit a bug
report, as I don't use EL myself. It would therefore be best if someone
maintained qt-creator for EPEL which actually uses it and can react in a
timely manner to broken dependencies, and possibly to evaluate updating
the package if deemed necessary. So thanks Thomas for coming forward
with this, and I'd appreciate it if someone could sponsor him. On my
part, I'd assist Thomas with any questions he may have regarding the
Fedora infrastructure.
Thanks
Sandro
