Hi, I'm crobinso (Cole Robinson), and I'd like to be added as a package sponsor.
I've been doing virt related packaging in Fedora for 5 years, mostly as primary virt-manager/virtinst maintainer and libvirt co-maintainer. For the past 2 years I've been primary maintainer of libvirt and qemu, and related *bios packages. I'm pretty active in this space, trying to keep the bug count low, frequent bug fix updates. libvirt and qemu are both quite non-trivial packages as well (though in fairness architecting the spec has been a large group effort).
Peripheral stuff: I'm primary upstream for virt-manager, major libvirt contributor, python-bugzilla upstream + package owner which is critpath, lots of RHEL packaging, handled many CVEs in Fedora, co-owned at least 15 features over 4 years, run/co-run at least 5 test days. I generate the Fedora virtio-win drivers, maintain the virt-preview repo.

+1
Although I failed to spot any non-trivial reviews (at all) and you currently have currently 6 closed reviews in total, I don't think you'd be a bad sponsor.
Seems you were quite lucky in picking reviews, were no bundled libs issues occurred or upstream tried to install at scary places.
A weak +1 from me.
Worked closely with Cole for years, plus he's been primarily responsible for Very Important Packages such as qemu and virt-install/manager for a long time.
So this has lingered for a while... have I not hit the required +1 threshold or has this been forgotten? (ticket 125 is similarly stalled)
+1 from me, sorry I missed this.
PS don't you only need a positive differential of +3? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_sponsor_a_new_contributor#Becoming_a_Fedora_Package_Collection_Sponsor
Yes, it was just not gotten to yet. ;)
Sorry for the delay...
You are now a sponsor. Use your powers for good!
