Resuming this thread as the podman and podman-desktop teams are
looking to get podman-desktop packaged in Fedora
But it's unlikely either team would be able to own the nodejs-electron dep.
Would the nodejs sig and/or fedora desktop team and/or chromium
maintainers be willing to package and own nodejs-electron?
There's an open github issue pointing to this thread but that may not
get enough Fedora eyes so I'm
checking back here. (See:

yes, I think that should be the path and and I'd love see that done ,
also for other projects like nwjs (node-webkit)
https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js , doesn't make sense to me build chromium

and consumes a lot and a lot of resources.
