Odd. Maybe that is for new packages. For existing packages it has taken
me less than a week to get approved to become a maintainer (with commit
privileges) for a package.
Cleber, can you point me to some of the hold-ups on getting you approved?
Being in Westford, I might be able to poke people directly to move things
along quicker. 20 days seems awfully long and would be a big turn-off to
get new Fedora contributors/maintainers (something I assumed Fedora wanted
to avoid).
Don,
Now would be a good time to get some help here.
Please check the package review BZ at:

Thanks.
Cheers,
Don
