Welcome! Ankur said pretty much the same things I was going to say.
Let me add that you will have to sign the Fedora Project Contributor
Agreement (FPCA), which I think takes care of fedora-contributor.
I second the suggestion to look at the co-maintainer route, especially
since it looks like you are the current upstream maintainer for
inotify-tools.
Also, note that you do *not* need to be sponsored to get started.
Sending a PR to update inotify-tools would be a great first step. You
can also add inotify-tools to anitya (
https://release-monitoring.org/)
so that a bug is automatically filed whenever there is a new upstream
release.
Please let me know if I can provide any help or advice. I’ve been an
inotify-tools user for many years, and I appreciate your contributions.
