Hi all,
Hi Erich,
While working on getting Fedora Jam a bit more modernized for F33 (the
backgrounds and themes haven't been touched since 2013!), I found that my
predecessor (Brendan Jones) still has fedora-jam-kde-theme and
fedora-jam-backgrounds. I think it's safe to say that since he abandoned Jam
that these two packages are now orphaned.
Well, they're still being built, and they're not technically orphaned:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=14400
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-jam-backgrounds
I have already moved the sources of both packages to pagure since
they were
formerly on his fedorahosted page. Additionally, I have simplified both
packages into separate sources (used to be one git source) so I believe it's
safe to say the .sh files from both srpms can be dropped. I just now opened a
PR, but it appears as though Brendan is the owner and would have to accept that
PR. Unfortunately, I believe that's not going to happen as he was unresponsive
with Ben Cotton's keepalive request for Jam, which is why I stepped-in.
With that, I'd li ke to adopt both of these packages.
If Brendan is non-responsive you can follow the non-responsive
maintainer policy to take over the packages:

A proven packager can help in the meantime:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Provenpackager_policy/
I understand that I still need to be sponsored into the packager
group, and I still have 3 other packages undergoing review (all of
which I have corrected per comments).
I'm sure you'll be sponsored soon, so that isn't a problem. Is a sponsor
already looking at your reviews?
