Hi Petr,
It is precisely the security information that I am seeking access to. My
job depends on it.
I have already done everything in [0]. In some cases more than once. And we
are talking over the period of many months. So let me ask this in return:
what is the process once someone has done everything in [0]? The only place
that I can have any dialog is this mailing list or #fedora-python.
Application to the FAS group is a one time, one way thing. Application to
the python-sig mailing list is a one way thing. A human on the other end
must make some action to move the process forward.
Out of frustration, I emailed tomspur recently, as he is listed as the main
contact for python-sig group in FAS. Other than a response from him, I have
not heard anything else. I can understand that it is summer and people have
holidays and it has not been that long yet.
But I must reiterate that this process has been going on for months from my
side. Fedora already has a problem of perception of being too Red Hat
insider in some circles. My observation has been that Red Hat employees
have been gently reminded on #fedora-python that they need to apply to
python-sig. I am assuming they have been successful. Meanwhile, I wait for
action on the part of a member of python-sig.
That action could be as simple as, "we don't know you, could you please
submit a python package for review so we can start to get to know you?".
But that still requires action on the part of a member of python-sig.
I can tell you that the response from the perl-sig community was much more
inviting.
Cheers.

Hello Tim! Welcome to python-devel, and sorry for us being so quiet.
Is there anything in particular you're pinging about?
If want to access the python-sig FAS group, note that an introduction here
is just a part of the process [0]. However, that list is mostly used to get
notifications about bugs in various Python packages (so it might not be for
you), and it gets security-related information (so not everyone who applies
is accepted, but I don't know the details there). For general discussions
there is this list, so you can already participate.
