Joining the Package Maintainers

How to Get Sponsored into the Packager Group

Claiming Ownership of a Retired Package

You should mail the current maintainer(s) at tss2-maintainers@fedoraproject.org and ask if they would request you be added as a co-maintainer. (See the second link above about co-maintainership)

In fairness to @kgold there wasn't a maintainer when he opened this. Since the package is supported in RHEL we needed to avoid it getting removed from Fedora, so I took over maintaining the package to get it back into rawhide and f38. @kgold is the upstream maintainer of the tss2 project.

@kevin I've been looking through various pages, but I haven't yet found how a webpage that says how I would go about getting @kgold into the packagers group so he can be a co-maintainer since I myself am not in the packager sponsors group. Could you or someone else point me to documentation that says the steps to do that?

Thank you

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Policy_for_encouraging_comaintainers_of_packages/

has the following text:

Who can be a co-maintainer?

Anybody who has been sponsored to the packager group can be a co-maintainer. Package sponsor policy has special instructions for the case where somebody who has not been sponsored yet wants to become a co-maintainer.

But the https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Policy_for_encouraging_comaintainers_of_packages/#Package_sponsor_policy.adoc link seems to lead nowhere.

Okay, I think I found it here:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Packager_sponsor_policy/#comaintainer

I will open another pagure ticket and request @kgold to be added to the packager group so he can be a co-maintainer.
