I'm going to express my concern here.
Neil is a great guy and I like him.
But the "a little over a year" is my concern.
Looking at things, Neil certainly has been active over the past year. He is admin, fedora contact, and/or epel contact for 14 packages. And although 4 of those, he hasn't done a build for, that leaves 10 that he has.

So I looked at our requirements to join the EPEL Packagers SIG, and well ... umm ... let's just say it's lacking. Basically it says, "if we like you, you are in" ... really ... there is no criteria.

I'm not saying we shouldn't let Neil be in the epel-packagers-sig group. I'm saying ... we really need to push SOME criteria on it.
I don't want the SIG to let people in based on how popular they are.

No hard feelings, I totally understand and appreciate that concern. I had, more or less, similar questions when opening the ticket.

For my part, joining the SIG is a step towards showing my commitment to working on and furthering EPEL, and I do understand if my application is delayed pending discussions or outright rejected until such time as there are clear guidelines on membership.

I am removing this for "meeting" until this other issue is resolved.
