So talking with fedora folks, all you have to do is request commit acls
for project autotest-framework. Martin is the owner, so he has the power
to approve/reject that request.

As for python-arc, it should be a new package, so all it has to be is
approved and then you can do whatever you want with it. I can't imagine
_every_ Fedora maintainer having to get the 'provenpackager' status.
I know I didn't, I just got sponsered by a Red Hat person to get into the
Fedora database. After that a few mouse clicks is all that is needed to
allow me to commit to packages.
We should ping Martin again to see what the hold up is.
Cheers,
Don
