I've uploaded my first package to bodhi, SDL_mng. I've set the karma threshold to 1 since I doubt there will be many testers. I determined I can't add karma which I understand.
What should I do? Should I ask people to test the package (here or on another fedora list)? Are there sufficient testers who try random packages that I should just wait? For Fedora 25, should I submit an update to bodhi or do I not have to since it hasn't bee released yet?

After a period of time elapses, updates in testing can be tagged as stable even if they haven't achieved enough karma. For pre-release versions (right now this is Fedora 25), that time period is 3 days. For stable releases, it's 7; for Enterprise Linux (EPEL), it's 14.
So it's alright if no one tests your update; you just have to wait a bit before you can push to stable.
You do need to submit an update for F25 though.
Also, thank you for inadvertently reminding me I can go ahead and review btbuilder, now that you've imported SDL_mng.

I've "fedpkg build" btbuilder on f25. When I do the same with f24, it fails. Is this because SDL_mng is still in testing for f24? It says to look in root.log. That file has a lot of information in it but I don't see a simple message about what failed.

Koji pulls from the updates repo but not from updates-testing. You'll need to create an override in Bodhi if you want to build btbuild right now.

Thanks for pointing that out. I tried to search the file for SDL expecting that was the problem. I find it now but didn't earlier. I can only assume I accidentally searched one of the other logs instead of root.
I'll just wait for SDL_mng to get in stable. It's already waited over 2 years to get added. A few more days don't matter. :)
