#326 Request for adding ignatenkobrain to sponsors
Closed: accepted 6 years ago Opened 6 years ago by ignatenkobrain.

Maintain at least three packages.

I maintain ~393 packages now (https://src.fedoraproject.org/user/ignatenkobrain)

Have done five high quality, nontrivial package reviews.

I definitely did in past, but hard to find those

Have been members of the packager group for at least one release cycle (generally six months) so that they have seen the process of branching for a new release.

I'm packager for 4.5+ years (since 2013-06-19 15:04:50 CEST) and provenpackager for almost 2 years (since 2015-12-05 19:43:31 CET).


The main reason why I am asking for this privileges is that I see new people are not being sponsored for many months / years which makes Fedora not getting new cool contributors (for example, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1438927 which didn't got any reviews for more than half year)..

Lately I have not been doing much reviews, rather I was submitting new packages for reviews but now I would like to concentrate bringing new contributors!


Definite +1 here.

(also sent to sponsors alias for more feedback, sorry for delay).

Supposedly this repo is configured to send ticket notifications to the packager-sponsors alias. But I'm not sure what happens to replies to those messages, since I believe pagure will simply ignore emailed replies if they don't come from the same address to which the message was sent (which is unfortunate if true).

It hasn't been since we moved from fedorahosted, but it turns out thats not due to any particular bug, but simply the address being wrong. ;(

Anyhow, now packager-sponsors should get emails from issues in this tracker.

+1 And surprised he isn't already ;)

Absolutely +1. I've tag-teamed with Igor on plenty of package reviews and he's done a great job helping new people become stellar members of Fedora.

-1.

ah really? do you have any inputs for your -1 vote?

I am +1 here. Igor helped a lot in package reviewing work.

+1

Also surprised he's not a packager sponsor yet.

I've worked with Igor on a wide range of things, and we often disagree.

+1.

+1

Igor should have been granted it years ago.

It's been a week here and I see 20 +1's and one -1 so this request is approved.

I've upgraded you in the account system, please use your powers wisely.
