== Sponsorship and provenpackager request - mmaslano ==

Provenpackager approved, sponsorship declined based on feedback from
the existing sponsors. There was some concern about being able to
guide the sponsoree in the best choices in packaging and reviewing.
However, we would be willing to entertain another request in a period
of a month or two.

== Sponsor request - kasal ==

This request was declined on the basis that the reasons presented for
becoming a sponsor was to avoid work in the event of some future
reseed of provenpackager, not the desire to assist and teach anybody
in becoming a Fedora packager.  As there is no such reseed now planned
or even likely, this request made very little sense.

== provenpackager request - caolanm ==

== provenpackager request - stahnma  ==
