Which is the proper way to vote and describe potential benefits of a
new package, with candidate maintainer who needs sponsorship.

Voting for what?

For the package. As a Fedora user (not a packager at the time being) I would be happy to see number of projects (whose upstream development I closely follow) as a Fedora packages, but don't know how/where to express this and how to share my humble points about the potential benefits to the Distribution if we have them.


Maintainers that need sponsorship have to use one of the methods on:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group

Basically you need to convince a sponsor that you are trustworthy and
ready to be sponsored.

What happens when the candidate maintainer has done the packaging task fairly well ([1] as instance), but obviously is not active enough in the sponsor seeking? Which is the mechanism to "unstuck" the important packages from this state?

Thank you again,
Alek
