I realize that it's much easier to criticize a small body of people vs.
the whole Fedora community, but this is hardly FESCo's fault. We have a
standing item in the meeting to discuss and vote on sponsors. We
literally have not received any nominations in quite a while.
Just as FESCo can't arbitrate disputes it doesn't know about, it can't
approve sponsor nominations that don't exist.
