[Fedora-packaging] New packager

Hi I am new to fedora packaging, I have followed the wiki as fare as setting up a fedora and bugzlla account and submitting my package. I am still unapproved for the packager group and was wondering how long the process usually takes? The reason is I uploaded the spec file and the Source rpm to rapid share and the links have a 90 day time limit, I'm concerned about the links expiring before my submission is looked at. Thanks Joey Schofield
