I'd like to apply to become a fedora package sponsor, specifically to increase my role within the fedora project and help the onramp of new contributors and packagers. Reviewing the guidelines specified in the fedoraproject wiki[1], I believe I meet the general rule of 'sufficient knowledge'. However, I've also met the criteria specified:

• Maintain at least three packages.
  Currently I am a listed maintainer of 13 packages[2], though, more realistically, am more involved with 8 of those packages than the other 5. Specifically;
  rpms/pcp
  rpms/parfait
  rpms/si-units
  rpms/uom-systems
  rpms/uom-se
  rpms/uom-lib
  rpms/uom-parent
  rpms/pcp2pdf

• Have done five high quality, nontrivial package reviews.
  Recently I've been tasked with adding Parfait to fedora. This included a number of BuildRequirements in the various unitsofmeasurement packages. I carefully reviewed each package, including paying close attention to the licensing[3], and getting multiple changes pushed upstream to become more compliant[4]. The various fedora-review's I've conducted are as follows;

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1434749
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1434750

Years ago I also contributed a fedora-review to rnetclient[5]

• 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.
  I've been part of the fedoraproject as a packager since July 17, 2012, where tibbs sponsored me for inclusion.

Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any further questions regarding my application.
