This is not completely true. A sponsor can approve packages from
somebody not in the cvsextras package -- that's how somebody not in this
group become part of it, in general. It should block FE-NEEDSPONSOR,
however.
And a reviewer may well do a review, even a full review of a package
proposed by a submitter who is not a contributor already. This could
help sponsors. Of course the reviewer should make clear that he isn't a
sponsor and can't approve the package.
