For a while now I have been working on a proposal for some changes

both the way we elevate packagers to sponsors and what (to a small

for any changes to how people are made members of the packager group in
the first place and does not change the privileges of existing sponsors.
My proposal is at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Tibbs/RevitalizingSponsorshipProposal
I've run this by FESCo, whose response was favorable, so I'm sending
this to a larger audience. Please let me know what you think.
Looks good to me. I was unaware that sponsors are (currently) also
provenpackagers. I've considered the idea of becoming a sponsor
myself, but when I read the archived tickets where other people
smarter than me have been denied, the barrier to entry seemed too
high. Previously I've just used the "co-maintain to proxy sponsor"
route, which isn't super optimal.
Could you expand a bit on what you consider "high-quality, non-trivial
package reviews" ?
