If you are still looking for co-maintainers, I can also help.

efforts) has maintained the LibreOffice packages in Fedora for years as part of our work
to support LibreOffice for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We are adjusting our engineering
priorities for RHEL for Workstations and focusing on gaps in Wayland, building out HDR
support, building out what’s needed for color-sensitive work, and a host of other
refinements required by Workstation users. This is work that will improve the workstation
experience for Fedora as well as RHEL users, and which, we hope, will be positively
received by the entire Linux community.

applications and will cease shipping LibreOffice as part of RHEL starting in a future RHEL
version. This also limits our ability to maintain it in future versions of Fedora.

>> We will continue to maintain LibreOffice in currently supported versions of RHEL
(RHEL 7, 8 and 9) with needed CVEs and similar for the lifetime of those releases (as
published on the Red Hat website). As part of that, the engineers doing that work will
contribute some fixes upstream to ensure LibreOffice works better as a Flatpak, which we
expect to be the way that most people consume LibreOffice in the long term.

>> Any community member is of course free to take over maintenance, both for the
RPMS in Fedora and the Fedora LibreOffice Flatpak, but be aware that this is a sizable
block of packages and dependencies and a significant amount of work to keep up with.
