<br>
Today I happened to look at this page:<br>

<a href="http://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus/NEEDSPONSOR.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus/NEEDSPONSOR.html</a><br>
<br>
from which I can see we have potentially on the order of 100 new<br>
potential contributors to Fedora whose efforts we're missing out on<br>
due to a lack of sponsors. Some people seem to have been waiting to be<br>
sponsored for a couple of years. This is quite an unfortunate<br>
situation - what can we do to improve that situation? How many<br>
*active* packaging sponsors do we currently have?<br>
