Sorry guys
that I am disconnected last month. I had some problems with health
and now I am overbusy in work. I hoped that someone else could
continue on that meanwhile what I started.
As I pointed, you can continue with move of other packages using
the copr build anyway. But I understand that's not ideal and it should
be resolved in rawhide repos.

an option in 31 or rawhide, and we can thus not do anything to move forward with packages
that depend on Mercurial.
What can we do? Offer to take over ownership of the Mercurial package?
