23 steps are shown under "Becoming a Fedora Package Collection
Maintainer". Some of them are technical and more or less unavoidable
(koji, expiring certificates, scm, bodhi), others are more social (ask
a review, introduce, inform upstream, get sponsorship), finally there
is legal stuff (the CLA). My enthusiasm has never been powerful enough
to overcome such an amount of static friction.
It is a fairly long process but I don't think we have added any
unnecessary steps. We have people including me who have guided several
new contributors through the process and if there is anything we can do
to reduce the friction, we would be happy to take suggestions which are
specific
