The old process has not been mandatory. Years ago already it has been possible to join the packager group by convincing a packager sponsor, or by using a sponsor as a proxy when contributing to package development for some time before getting sponsored as a full co-maintainer. It's just that FESCo has made this official by officially documenting it in the Wiki. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
