Normally people who want to become packagers are interested in packaging more
stuff than just one package. Becoming a packager means that you become able to
perform package reviews, and thus packager status has some power and
responsibility.

The idea behind the sponsorship system is to guarantee that every packager
knows the Fedora guidelines. It's the packager who is sponsored, not the
package:
