Thanks for pointing that out. I confess I didn't know about Copr, but as far as I could see, it is kind of messy. There are lots of repositories there, and they get listed in a way that doesn't seem very "organized", so to speak. If Linux-libre/freed-ora had a repository there, I bet I would find it much more difficult to see it in that list! Anyway, what I would probably do in your case is to create a mirror repository there, and see how things go. If it proves to be much more used than freed-ora itself, then it might be worth considering the change. But of course, this is Oliva's call :-).
