Sorry, Guido, but it doesn't work this way. Preparing clean packages is as
important as developing working program code. Thus, it can take some time to
get a package approved. As Jason already mentioned, the initial sponsoring
process can delay the approval of the first package because there are quite a
few new contributers waiting to get sponsored (see
http://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus/NEW.html for example). 

Joining the packager group requires that you're willing to invest time in
preparing and maintaining packages and that you have an understanding of the
packaging guidelines. The latter is usually shown by doing some informal
reviews of other packager's submissions.

Personally, I'm pretty busy with my job at the moment, and I still have two
contributors waiting for my sponsorship which also takes time. So I'm currently
not able to sponsor you.

BTW, if you don't have the time and/or don't want to maintain this package
yourself, you can also add your utility to the package wishlist
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/WishList) and wait for some
other packager to pick it.
