Its actually step 5.  For your first package the reviewer==sponsor
The number of people who can sponsor new contributors is limited to a
group of veteran contributors.  Every contributor can be a reviewer...
but only a limited number of people can act as sponsors.

Step 5: Fill out this form: [WWW]
      Make sure that you mention in Review Description that this is
your first package, and you are seeking a sponsor
</quote>

people who have the ability to sponsor new contributors should be
looking for Review Descriptions in bugzilla.. looking for items that
are "first package seeking a sponsor"

After you get your first package imported... any other contributor can
act as a reviewer and the process becomes simpler.
