Right, it's nice that my changes would be pushed, but I'm hoping to take
the reigns and keep the Nethack package moving forward, and thought
pushing the changes were just that, and nothing more.
I did request access but the page gave me a catch-22 of needing to be in
a particular group to continue; it was awhile ago at the end of last
year and I kind of dropped it, but since I've been playing more Nethack
on my Fedora 25 laptop, it rekindled my interest in being the
maintainer.
Sorry if I'm doing this wrong; the maintainer packages are pretty
involved and I'm trying to navigate through this; there's no 'dnf -y
install maintainer' as far as I can tell. :)
