To a beginner (in any project) it's cumbersome to file two separate requests in two different issue trackers for what feels like a single task. It's less of a barrier to beginners if they only have to deal with Bugzilla. On the other hand it's important that there are ways to become a packager without adding a new package, so a package review in Bugzilla can't be the only way to get sponsored. Therefore, if some automation can notify the sponsors in Pagure when a review is completed and still blocks FE-NEEDSPONSOR, that sounds like a better idea than getting rid of FE-NEEDSPONSOR. It would lower the barrier to entry for those beginners who begin by making a new package. > Apart from it not being > processed as effectively as the package-sponsor repo tickets, the > FE-NEEDSPONSOR is confusing anyway (it is set to a review ticket but > the ticket doesn't need to be sponsored, the contributor does.

I had three myself, but they depended on each other so one specific package had to go first. A beginner with multiple independent packages, such that they can be reviewed and imported in arbitrary order, is probably an uncommon case. Björn Persson
