At the bottom of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines there is a link to the blocker bugs which you are looking for, especially FE-NEW and FC-NEW. *-REVEIW could also be usefull in case some help is needed to help a review to end. and *-ACCEPT can give you examples of other reviews. > B.

You don't really have obligations (except to follow the guidelines). To be able to make some changes to bugzilla which are required, if I recall well, to be assigned to that bug, you have to request a certain role, see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines#head-e1a114b23499786e13113ebf072d03a8f8d02094 My advice would be that, in the beginning you do review of packages that are sitting in FE-NEW (even those needing sponsor), but don't assign yourself as being reviewing and make clear from the beginning that you are only checking, try to spot issues in the package and comment on it in the bugzilla ticket (and CC yourself). When you become confident enough with the guidelines, and you think that the package is acceptable, state that you would approve this package, but also that you would like to have a double check by more experienced contributors. And when you are confident enough apply to be a fedora-bugs member to do full reviews. To have a list of inactive submission, you can have a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/PackageStatus -- Pat -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
