Hi folks,
I've opened https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2574 to facilitate assumption ownership of the Sugar packages in Fedora, most of which are de-facto abandoned by the previous maintainer, erikos, who has not authenticated with his FAS account since March of 2017, nearly three years ago. I can't find a working e-mail address for him, and @chimosky and I are trying to get the remaining core Sugar packages updated to the current version, before the F34 freeze happens. Therefore, time is of the essence. The only two e-mail addresses I could find for Simon were both aliases, simon@laptop.org and simon@sugarlabs.org. Both are no longer functional, nor have they been for a couple of years.
As an aside, I'd like to propose that FESCO consider revising the requirements to simplify/expedite assumption of packages which have clearly been abandoned by their previous maintainers. Perhaps "has not authenticated to FAS in 2+ years" could be considered a form of abandonment? This subject seems worthy of discussion at the next FESCO meeting.

Yet you didn't reach out to a co-maintainer such as myself?
