The pending issue was resolved, an administrator user added manually to the group requested by the wiki https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Guide

I am also not sponsored into l10n FAS group, and there might be other people who are in the same situation. How can this be solved?

Personally, I think that:
first of all, technically, in order to translate words on Weblate, it's
no more mandatory to be part of the FAS group. However, as I stated in
the past, I think that FAS membership is something like badges: a
recognition of community members work, a way to feel part of the
community.
So, if your local team doesn't work anymore, i.e. people that were
responsible of a localization team is no more active, and the like, I
suggest to send an introduction mail to this list, asking to be
sponsored. Such simple process works for other Fedora teams, and we
could consider to renew the membership process for the l10n team too,
maybe documenting it on docs.f.o.

Bye,
A.

A group like "l10n" is also required to edit Fedora Wiki, together
with a signed CLA. Fábio (the OP) was able to sign the CLA but he
noticed the "l10n" group in FAS didn't have a "Apply" button, so he
was unable to create a personal page in Wiki (as requested by L10N
Guide[1]).

Weird enough, the L10N Guide in Fedora Wiki guides the new translator
to apply for the "l10n" group, but there is no such option for this
group.  However others in the Group List have the "Apply" button to be
clicked.

Maybe the L10N Guide should:

1) say the new translator need to be sponsored in order to enter the
"l10n" group in "Joining the l10n Group" section; and

2) also have a Note box, in "Introduce yourself" section, that both
CLA and a non-CLA group (e.g. "l10n") are required to create a
personal page in Fedora Wiki.
