I send the following to the FESCo-List last week (it was in a similar context). --- I'll give a example of my currently thoughts: Package foo is orphaned. bar is interested in taking it over, but is no Extras contributor yet. Sponsor foobar steps up; he acts as proxy between bar and Extras cvs for some time (e.g. bar prepares patches, sends them to foobar who applies them and requests the build). If everything looks okay after some time bar get sponsored. Is this stupid? Biggest problem: How to find sponsors that like to act as proxy? --- That would mean (a lot of) extra work for the sponsors. And that's why this idea probably will fail. Does anyone have a better idea? CU thl -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
