Hi,
I recently came across a couple of awesome themes at [1]. The designers are trying to get them in Fedora repos [2]. I am not sure who usually packages the design stuff but maybe they can point these guys in proper direction? A package sponsor is needed right now. It would be good to have a good and updated 3.10 supported theme in official repos soon.

I'm the upstream author of the theme. I thought I should mention.

The packaging process is the same for all packages. In order to get sponsored, you should go through this page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group
Sponsorship generally takes time. Sponsors need to be confident of the candidate's capabilities. As the page details, the more packages you put up and review (unofficially), the more sponsors will notice you, and the better your chances of getting sponsored quicker are.
Well, I'm just a designer who wants to get his theme packaged into Fedora repos. I would prefer if someone packages the theme for Fedora. But since no one packages it, I came forward to package it, as Fedora is my primary distro and i would love to see it in the repos.
I have basic RPM skills (which i think is sufficient for a theme package) and don't have the extensive knowledge to do reviews of other packages. I'm really lost here.
