I pointed my browser to the orphaned packages that need new maintainers(3) page, as it seems the most appropriate for the task, and it gave me some guidelines and a link to the "Lists of Orphan and Retired Packages"(4) where I found a 500 response.
I have informed the webmaster at fedoraproject.org email address of the issue.
I think ppl now can go to https://packager-dashboard.fedoraproject.org/user/orphan to see orphaned packages.
Then I went to read again the guidelines (6). It's a 68 sections document, so seems a bit daunting. I went to the "Naming Guidelines" section and it was a 141,600 words page.
I am sure an abridged version for newcomers would be really helpful.
It going to take a while to go through that document.
You don't need to understand all of them at once, but you may need to skim the guidelines.
"Don't worry too much about it though---once you've done a few packages and a few reviews, you know where to find the info."
e.g. Referencing source -> https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/SourceURL/ , etc.
