Actually, I was lazy last night, didn't do my school work. Instead, I
submitted it to review :D. Your prospective sponsor will probably want
to see you doing informal reviews (it is part of the process). You can
give it a try:

As for submitting a second package for getting sponsored: I would say
it will nearly double your chances for being noticed. There is much
more stuff that needs packaging or importing from PlanetCCRMA. You can
have a look at the wishlist:

Beware that some of these packages are in rpmfusion, with mp3 support
etc. enabled. The list may be a bit old. It is good practice to check
if any package that you are willing to submit are already submitted.
