1 - Those who have a great piece of software, simply willing to make it
available to the large public. In such case, there should be only quality
barrier of the package + rules of duration (i.e. added packages are not kept
in Fedora if not maintained for instance once a year)
I suspect having packages being removed after a year is going to make
for a poor user experience.
If an upstream author wants his software in Fedora, I would recommend
one of two solutions:
a) use a COPR repository and publish instructions on enabling the repo
b) find an existing maintainer to do the heavy lifting and sign on as
a co-maintainer to deal with upstream-related issues. The primary
maintainer will then only have to deal with Fedora-related issues.
