I realize that it's much easier to criticize a small body of people vs. the whole Fedora community, but this is hardly FESCo's fault. We have a standing item in the meeting to discuss and vote on sponsors. We literally have not received any nominations in quite a while. Just as FESCo can't arbitrate disputes it doesn't know about, it can't approve sponsor nominations that don't exist. josh -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
