Hello developers and packagers,<br>
<br>
I recently received an email from the reporter[1] from rhbz #<a name="b913289" href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=913289" target="_blank">913289.</a><br>
related to the sponsorship. The review was done. One of sponsors
promised to take care of that step<br>
which never came to fruition. It has been more than two months the
original reporter asked if there is a sponsored packager willing to
take over the package.<br>
<br>
Considering the reporter is also a entrepreneur who took the time to
port some of upstream packages to Fedora, I am utterly disappointed
by the lack of communication from the sponsors for a simple task.
The fact the reporter vainly tried to ask for sponsorship leaves a
negative impression as if the communication are uninterested to
bring more contributors outside Fedora.<br>
<br>
The way to get sponsored seemed harder because not everybody has the
luxury to wait on IRC channel[2]. New contributors have tendency to
use mail list so better clarifications are needed.<br>
<br>
I understand each one of us is busy with their life but a simple
message would suffice to let know about the status. Is there a
better way to address this concern to avoid repeating it in the
future?<br>
