Hello developers and packagers,
I recently received an email from the reporter[1] from rhbz #913289.
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=913289>
related to the sponsorship. The review was done. One of sponsors
promised to take care of that step
which never came to fruition. It has been more than two months the
original reporter asked if there is a sponsored packager willing to take
over the package.
Considering the reporter is also a entrepreneur who took the time to
port some of upstream packages to Fedora, I am utterly disappointed by
the lack of communication from the sponsors for a simple task. The fact
the reporter vainly tried to ask for sponsorship leaves a negative
impression as if the communication are uninterested to bring more
contributors outside Fedora.
The way to get sponsored seemed harder because not everybody has the
luxury to wait on IRC channel[2]. New contributors have tendency to use
mail list so better clarifications are needed.
I understand each one of us is busy with their life but a simple message
would suffice to let know about the status. Is there a better way to
address this concern to avoid repeating it in the future?
