Hello Pavel,
Thank you for your thoughts. It strikes me that perhaps what you're
advising me to do, is likely what I was wanting to do in the first
place. I certainly don't feel dissatisfied being a non-packager in
Fedora land, and I am probably a bit guilty of exageration of the
difficulties on th

Hi Stephen,
thank you for your interest in contributing to Fedora. I can totally understand
that the current policies may seem overwhelming so that becoming a packager
might be seen as some kind of "elite" status.
I think I would feel the same way if I didn't become a packager ~10 years ago.

I think becoming a packager is not as complicated as you’ve written. To
become a packager, you must convince a packager sponsor to sponsor you.
That’s all; there is no rule about how to do the convincing.
Sponsors want to be confident that you understand and are likely to
follow the packaging

Building a package with mock will create the build in /var/lib/mock/...
No download should be required.

Okay,
So to become a packager you have to
- Get someone to sponsor you as a packager
- Review existing packages for others
- take over an orphaned package
- introduce a package to Fedora Linux that needs to get approval to
be packaged
