Some questions from a wannabee packager

Hi all,

I am new to this list, and new to packaging as well. I work on the amsn
project (http://amsn.sf.net) and I would like to have amsn in extras. I
have made a package of amsn which I put up:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=185951

Today I found out that I should have tls (http://tls.sf.net) included.

Now here are my questions:
1) should I include tls in the amsn package or create a seconds package
on which amsn depends (I did the second locally and it works)
2) My spec file changes of course due to this, do I need to just replace
the spec i put up or do i need to do something else?
3) Since I am a new packager I need a sponsor, is there a way to
actively look for one or do you just file a request (like i have done)
and wait for one

Thanks for any answers,

Sander Hoentjen
