You can submit packages and do non-authoritative reviews before getting
sponsored. In fact, that's the best way to convince a someone (me, for example)
to sponsor you. After that person approves you for membership in the "packager"
group in the Fedora Account System, you will be able to import and build any
approved package.

You should find someone to sponsor you. Usually, sponsorship happens at the
same time as your first package is approved. As I said, I can do that after I'm
satisfied that you have learned to follow our packaging guidelines.

I'll take the review of this package now.
