Hello,
I would like to apply for becoming a Fedora Package Collection Sponsor.
I'm a packager for 3+ years now, I actively maintain 4 packages (hwloc, haveged, dieharder, aespipe) and I have done several package reviews. The most recent one is
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1048815
and I would like to sponsor Jan Tulak.
Thanks a lot for the consideration Jirka
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_sponsor_a_new_contributor#Becoming_a_Fedora_Package_Collection_Sponsor
mentions having done a few high quality package reviews, and my doing a quick search failed to find any. If you have, can you please mention them here? If not, comment why you haven't done any (yet) and you still consider yourself a good sponsor candidate?
Requirements from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_sponsor_a_new_contributor: * Maintain at least three packages. * Have done five high quality, nontrivial package reviews. * Have been members of the packager group for at least one release cycle (generally six months) so that they have seen the process of branching for a new release.
As Rex, I was able to find only 2 package reviews: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?component=Package%20Review&email1=hladky.jiri@gmail.com&emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=substring&list_id=1570150&query_format=advanced
Unless there are more package reviews assigned to a different account I vote -1.
Hi,
I have done some informal package reviews as well but I cannot find them as I'm not the Assignee of the bug.
Anyhow, the reason why I would like to become a sponsor is that I'm mentoring Jan Tulak, author of the Rdrand package and I want to be his sponsor.
Thanks Jirka
There is no need to become a sponsor to have Jan Tulak sponsored into the packager group. If you're going to mentor him, any sponsor could add him. IMHO this fits the following rule:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group#Become_a_co-maintainer
Please note his fas name, and a sponsor can take action more easily.
-1 from me.
-1 as this is an obvious attempt to bypass fp.o usual process to get a co-worker sponsored into the packager group.
More that 5 Weeks have passed with an outcome of -2 votes... This can be closed as a 'wontfix', I think.
