Hi Pat.
I don't mind to be a benevolent contributor. The website
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join that somebody gave
me after my first announcement about my software says:
 "Make sure that you mention in the 'Review Description' field that this
is your first package, and you are seeking a sponsor. In Fedora Package
Collection, all new contributors must be sponsored"

And I asked for a sponsorship :)

The only thing I want to know is the status of the review : if it's in
progress, done or nobody interested. I don't really care about the time
of the review. I guess any contributor wants to know what's going on.

Thanks for the information that you gave me. Now I better understand the
process of the review.

Thanks,
 Anton
