How does one find out someone's sponsor?

I looked at the Wiki page for the CWG, and it doesn't have any enforcement powers. "Specific anti-duties of the CWG: playing the role of arbitrator... in a dispute; making judgments in a dispute." Frankly, I do not think this is a communication issue; I think the only way this is going to change is if somebody with the authority to do so tells this individual that the way he's maintaining his packages isn't OK and compels him to do things differently or find another way to spend his time.

I have little interest in wasting my time engaging in pointless "mediation" that is just going to boil down to he-said, she-said, i.e., me saying, "This is not how things are supposed to be done. Doing things this way is damaging to the community and to the Fedora project," and him responding, "Yes, it is. No, it isn't." I've been involved with the FOSS community for long enough to know how such conversations turn out when there is no one in a position of authority to make and enforce judgments.

If you have a FAS login you can look it up there.  If not, you could have a trusted party who you know does have a FAS account look it up for you.

If you're not sure CWB is the right venue, you could log a Trac for FESCO.
