Hello!
My name is Christoph Karl and I use Fedora for a long time. For various reasons I want to change to CentOS, but I still miss some packages from Fedora. So I want to learn packaging not only for Fedora but for EPEL also.
I would like to start with the package "qjackctl"
I succeded with a scratch build for EPEL: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=47379008
But now I do not know how to move on.
Also ownership of "qjackctl" is not clear. According to devel List it is orphaned (see Mail from 26.07.20, 23:08 by Fernando Lopez-Lezcano nando@ccrma.Stanford.EDU)
What would be the next step?
Thank you
Best Regards Christoph

You cannot take ownership of the package until you're a packager. There are multiple ways of being a packager though, so that'll be the place to start:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group
qjackctl hasn't been orphaned yet---nando is still listed as the primary maintainer: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/qjackctl
If they're happy to add you as a co-maintainer, that'll be the easiest way of getting sponsored.
