#552 request to be a package sponsor
Closed: declined by music. Opened by trix.

I admin the opae package
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/opae
I have a specific non packager, Peter Colberg FAS:pcolberg, that is asking to be a comaintainer.
This need is general as people come and go, so can i be added to the sponsor list so I can do the mentoring / sponsoring of Peter as well as other folks?


Hey trix.

Looking at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Packager_sponsor_policy/#who_sponsors_the_sponsors
some information for sponsors to vote on your request:

  • trix maintains 15 packages

  • I only see one package review (still in progress). trix: have you reviewed packages under another email than in your fas account?

  • has been a packager since 2020.

Just the one review, at that just started.

Note that you do not need to be a packager sponsor for this, you can request other people to be added as co-maintainers for your packages without being a sponsor.

Based on recent commits, it looks like your packaging activity has been focused on two packages (opae and xbyak). Considering this and the single package review, I have to say that I don’t think you’ve demonstrated the necessary volume and scope of experience to be a packager sponsor just yet. This isn’t a judgement on the quality of your work. I hope you’ll consider reapplying in the future.

Meanwhile, I can say that requests for comaintaner sponsorship tend to be taken care of very quickly on this tracker. Feel free to mention me directly if you do have a comaintainer request languishing here.

For the moment:

yes that could be done.
But I would rather have the responsibility and officially mentor new people to help in my packages.

When you request sponsorship of a co-maintainer, you agree to accept all the usual responsibilities of a sponsor. The only thing you don’t do is “hit the button” to add the user to the packager group.

I have a specific non packager, Peter Colberg FAS:pcolberg, that is asking to be a comaintainer of opae.
Can you sponsor him ?

Happily, as soon as I get back to a computer.

I have sponsored @pcolberg on behalf of @trix, who will assume the duties of a sponsor per the co-maintainer policy.

@pcolberg, please log out of FAS and back in to use your new privileges. While @trix will be your primary mentor, feel free to reach out to me as well.

This had (+0, 0, -1) votes as of the seven-day mark, so according to the relevant policy @trix’s request to become a packager sponsor is not approved. Please feel free to reapply in the future!
