Re: Looking for sponsorship to be a package maintainer
Hi Mattia, The package has now been reviewed and approved: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1894726 I haven't had any offers for sponsorship on the mailing list so I'll try posting an issue on "packager-sponsors."

Looking for sponsorship to be a package maintainer
Hello all, I'm hoping to become the maintainer of an orphaned package (gr-iio, GNU Radio blocks for Analog Devices platforms) but I need some sponsorship to become a package maintainer. The releng team recommended that I send a message on this list to hopefully find someone. I'm a software engineer and I've built a few .rpm's and .deb's over the years, so I'm already pretty capable at putting together a package. I would love for the opportunity to give back to the Fedora community, and to improve and unorphan a few packages. Regarding the gr-iio package, I already know what needs to be done in order to bring it up to speed and compiling on the new Fedora versions, so it wouldn't be too much effort or take too long to get the new version of the package ready.

Self Introduction: Isaac True
Hello everyone, My name is Isaac. I've been a long-time user of Linux and FOSS, and I work in Germany as a software engineer for embedded devices, mostly programming in C and Python. As a lot of my development work is currently based around SDR platforms, I would like to help out with a few of the less cared-for SDR packages, for example those for use with Analog Devices products, which would help a lot with my work. I look forward to finally being able to give back to the Fedora community, after many years of using it both at work and at home.
