There are no new clauses.  Throughout the project,  mentors sponsors
someone else based on their comfort level.  With something like
packaging,  there is a defined set of packaging guidelines and review
requests which can be used to evaluate a person's skill set.  Becoming
an ambassador however is not a technical process.  I would like to know
someone,  talk to them a bit before sponsoring them.   Our criteria is
based on trust rather than the sheer number of people applying.    If
you would like to discuss this more,  come up to #fedora-india IRC
channel.  My nick is mether and I would be happy to clarify any
questions/concerns you might have.
