[ACTION REQUIRED] Retiring packages for Fedora 18

Fri Jul 6 21:16:38 UTC 2012

Hello,

Would it be a possibility for me to pick up one of the orphaned
packages, without being sponsored into the packager group yet?
I do have an accepted package, but the reviewer is now in the process
of getting sponsor status.
Would it be possible for me to already request it, or should I wait to
get sponsored and then apply for the orphaned package?

Thanks in advance,
Patrick Uiterwijk
