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_gro...
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.

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
