I see plenty of names in Bugzilla doing package reviews. If you’ve
waited a long time, this list is one place to ask for them (review
swaps for extra points).
Also no one want to wait for month+ and pinging non existent
maintainer.
Have you even attempted getting in touch with the original author? Have
you attempted proposing switching the upstream of the existing package?
Lots of things to do beforehand, but I can’t see any communication to
have happened.
Keep more like that and more people will continue switch to SUSE,
Arch, whatever where no such bureaucracy and where no terrible
tooling from 1990s like RHBZ for reviewing process.
No need to get defensive about this. Provide feedback ahead of time
and, preferably, help out. Replacing tooling is not just flipping a
switch.
