I would like to formally request that I become a Fedora sponsor.
Per pkgdb, I currently maintain 42 packages and co-maintain another 33: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packager/hobbes1069/
As far as I can find in BZ I have been involved with at least 27 package reviews.
Link to packages reviewed:

I'm not familiar with Richard's work at all, but I took a look at a random sampling of those and they look like quality, in-depth package reviews. So +1 from me.
I've worked closely with Richard on the MythTV dep chain in EPEL 6 and RPM Fusion. He's been around a while, and he's a great packager and clear communicator.
+1 from me.
+1
+1 for Richard from me
Thats a week and I see +7/0.
I've upgraded you to sponsor. Use your powers for good! :)
Thanks everyone. It was sometimes frustrating to want to help review a package but find that the person needs a sponsor. Not that I would necessarily want to sponsor EVERYONE when I've had that occur but it sure is nice to have the option if appropriate.
