It is just the beginning at this moment. The candidate packager is still
learning RPM packaging  and below level that can be sponsored.

I just thought that the 'newpackager' is the group for such kind of new
contributors. People in this group can have access to limited group of
packages and cannot own any package. But, after all, the group is not
existing.

So, that means new willing contributors can only co-maintain the package by
sending patches and filing bugs, instead of having direct commit privilege
to the Git repo?
