Thanks.

Ok.

Ok.

Well it seems you're previous submission ended up in a communications break
down / personality clash. I do not want to get into whose fault that is (I
don't care), but that does make you're case somewhat special. And I must admit
that unfortunately we do not have enough people doing reviews, esp. not reviews
of people who need a sponsor.

If you're still interested in becoming a Fedora package maintainer I'm willing
to help you through the process.

Step 1 would be for me to review this package, which as you indicate should be
a formality. Then I would somehow like to see some more of your packaging
skills for example by packaging up a python application using this lib, see
here for specific guidelines for python packaging:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python

If that sounds like a good way forward to you let me know, and I'll start by
reviewing this package submission.
