<span class="">> Thoughts from the COPR folks?<br>
<br>
</span>I like the idea of adding Copr as intermediate step for new contributors. Copr is outer ring of Fedora and it definitely<br>
make sense for newbies to go from outer ring to ring0. Step by step.<br>
<br>
Additionally we have in plan to run fedora-review consequently after each build, which hopefully will lead to better<br>
quality of spec files and resulting RPMs.<br>
<br>
<br>
Regarding long wait for sponsor: We have little over 120 sponsors right now. And there is little over 210 reviews<br>
waiting for sponsors.<br>
If every sponsor would take 2 reviews right now, the queue would be empty. So our current process still can work.<br>
However I am aware that sponsoring somebody is very irregular task. I am sponsor too. It happen that I sponsor 2<br>
contributors in one month, but sometimes there are months where I focus on something else and I forgot on my sponsor<br>
duties. I assume other sponsors have it similar.<br>
I would welcome if somebody can write cron script which would mine data from BZ and send me email that:<br>
<br>
Dear sponsor,<br>
it seems that you did not sponsor anybody for 3 months. We have 120 new contributors waiting for sponsor.<br>
Please consider taking some bug from:<br>

<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></blockquote><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">What above is said is from sponsor side. I will suggest similar for contributor side. Implement a script which search FE-NEEDSPONSOR package review bugs where package has not already under review. This script will check package submission date and then submit a comment every month till 3 months like<br><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Dear contributor,<br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Its one/two/three month since this package review is submitted and you are in need of a sponsor. Have you started reviewing other packages reviews? if yes please post the link to your reviews in the next comment. <br>Have you also run fedora-review on your package submissions? if yes and found any issues in review.txt then try to fix them or ask on devel list or #fedora-devel irc channel for help.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">something like this. This will make sure contributor realize what he need to do next after his submission. Thus, contributor will not loose interest in packaging. <br><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Regards,<br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Parag.<br></div></div></div>
