Hi,
Packages JLex and JDom have been recently orphaned and I am volunteering to be a new owner of these.
I am a new as a packager, so I would need to be approved and sponsored as a packager and to be a new owner of these for Fedora 14+.
I am already Fedora contributor, and I am member of other projects and CVS groups, but I do not have CVS packaging privileges yet.
I am experienced software developer with 14 years in Java and 15 years on RedHat Linux. I am a member of the research staff at Oak Ridge National Lab (http://computing.ornl.gov), and PhD student in Computer Science at UTK (http://utk.edu).
My FAS account is: ebegoli I have account on fedorapeople and my keys are up to date.
Please approve me, if that is appropriate, as the new owner of JLex and JDom packages.
Thank you, Edmon

You'll need to submit a package for review, etc.
Once your review is submitted, you could email the -devel list or this list, explain the situation, and you may find someone willing to work with you in this process.
Thanks and best of luck,

You have to submit a new package review to get sponsorship when all you're doing is picking up an orphan? Why not just ask for informal package reviews like new people who want to bring in new packages usually do?

Actually there is no specific rule. Sponsors are free to sponsor whomever they wish, but of course they will all want to see familiarity with the packaging guidelines. I believe the Java community has at least one sponsor who could help in this situation.

Well, do keep in mind that informal reviews are only part of the process. The actual submitted package is part of the procedure as well. Without a submitted package, it's far more difficult to get a feel for how someone will actually handle packaging.
