Hi, Elio Maldonado Batiz has been diligently hacking away at
converting the crypto-utils package to use NSS instead of OpenSSL, see

This is a big chunk of work and is now ready to commit; I don't
particularly want to play gatekeeper for this, could someone sponsor
Elio to join the cvsextras group? Elio's username is emaldonado.
Joe, I think this is a great time to point out that you too can become a
sponsor and be able to help with new contributors. It is rather unfair
to ask people here to do so since being a sponsor requires a certain
level of commitment to helping the sponsoree with problems they may
encounter. It seems that you are willing to do that for Elio, and
should be his sponsor.
Which is pointing out one very big sore point in Fedora after the merge between
core and extras, very little people seem to have been appointed sponsor,
certainly something where IMHO FESco is dropping the ball.
I would like to suggest to FESco to put talking about possible sponsor
candidates every meeting (in a closed fashion, openness is good, but talking
about people skills or lake thereof in public is asking for trouble).
In the pre merger days, I believe that sponsors where voted upon by the current
sponsors, or atleast the list of current sponsors was mailed for what they
thought of someone who was up for becoming a sponsor, I haven't seen any such
mails in a long long time!
Regards,
Hans
