Sorry about that.
No worries
You could add them in as co-maintainers, provided you are willing to show them how packaging works, etc.
See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group#...
This seems to imply co-maintaining an existing package, not a new package?
Did they or you ever submit the packages for review?
Looks like this is for one of them: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1880953
It looks like a review comment was made, but no response yet from Andreas (Andy). CC'ing him on this email. IIRC after it looks good is when you can get a sponsor?
They (or you) may also want to post to the python-sig list instead of the main devel list. Sometimes things get really busy here and people miss posts.
Andy CC'd
They have now pitched the idea of using "vendorize" to meet this requirement [3]. However, I believe the answer to this from a fedora packaging standpoint is no. Is this correct?
I'd say it's much better not to, yes.
Yeah, otherwise all the stuff being done for rust packages wouldn't be occurring :-)
Thank you for your response
