Hi,
I would like to take over this orphaned package:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/orphaned/
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/ddclient/
According to this webpage I should notify this email list:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Orphaned_package_that_need_new_maintainers
I have no RPM packaging experience yet. That's why I want to take over
an orphaned
package to my liking and learn what's already been done. I'm already
reading the package maintainer documentation. How should I proceed
since I'm not a developer yet and can't change the ownership in the
package database.
You will need to convince a sponsor to sponsor you.

Many sponsors like to see you put together a package for review or
'pre' review existing packages in the review queue to show that you
know what you are doing.
