This approach completely disregards the very common example of

in other projects before being allowed to add their package. This is
unacceptable and would basically guarantee that no upstream would
willingly involve itself with Fedora.
+1000 and completely -1 on Jóhann's idea: sponsor-sponsee relation in
Fedora always had an element of mentoring. Many packagers-to-be could be
very bright people (like Stephen's author of the upstream package) but
they need just a little bit help to get through intricacies of the
Fedora packaging process.
