There are multiple differences and it wouldn't be suitable to expand on all of
that in a review request but briefly, Fedora sponsors the submitter (as opposed
to just the package) and then gives commit and upload access to not only the
individual package but nearly the entire repository. So it make sense for the
proposed maintainer to demonstrate reasonable amount of understanding of
packaging guidelines. The way they demonstrate that understanding is by
reviewing other packages before getting sponsored. This process is comparatively
very light weight.
