Actually there is no specific rule. Sponsors are free to sponsor whomever they wish, but of course they will all want to see familiarity with the packaging guidelines. I believe the Java community has at least one sponsor who could help in this situation.

The actual submitted package is part of the procedure as well. Without a submitted package, it's far more difficult to get a feel for how someone will actually handle packaging. - J< -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
