I guess most of the packages needs co-maintainers. I don't think there is specific list of such packages, but sometimes somebody ask on this list for help. You can find list of all packages in Package Database [1].

Well I could probably package almost anything as long as I understand it. On my Arch system I have a few custom packages. Some of them are just the official packages that I have recompiled with different compile options or against different libraries such as musl or LibreSSL. Others are packages that I have modified to suit my needs (for example, systemd seems to be hardcoded to print status messages to /dev/console, which obscures the console with "Starting Foo Service" messages until it gets through starting everything, so I modified it to print to /dev/tty1, which is what I use for these types of messages on my system). There are some packages I use that probably aren't in Fedora, such as xxHash, LibreSSL, and musl, and they don't look too hard to package for Fedora, even though Pacman is a lot easier to package for than RPM. --  Travis Kendrick On Mon, 2017-03-27 at 14:28 +0000, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek wrote: > On Mon, Mar 27, 2017 at 10:47:08AM +0200, Vít Ondruch wrote: > > Hello and welcome! > >   > >   > > Dne 24.3.2017 v 18:10 Pouar napsal(a): > > > Hi, I'm Travis (aka Pouar in the Furry Fandom) and I'm hoping > > > to > > > become > > > a package co-maintainer (assuming there are any packages > > > needing > > > one, > > > not sure where to find them so I might need help). > > > >   > > I guess most of the packages needs co-maintainers.

Any comments? Any suggestions on how to tell upstream as I'm not really good at talking to people.
