Yes, exactly! I am waiting from March 2015. I am active in a few Fedora
areas (informal reviews, bugs requests, preparing new features requests,
small patch preparation to fedora-review tool, mailing list sent from
time to time....).

My feeling as new person in Fedora devel community is that something
does not work here. From my point of view it looks that at least these
new persons' activities are not noticed or are ignored.

I do not write it for forcing my being sponsored. I am not expecting
that and even I would not be sponsored now. I prefer to be sponsored in
natural way, not by recalling about me.

I am writing about it for share with you my feedback as new person that
is trying to be sponsored.

I am very curious the output from script that will recognize this situation.

Best regards.
