Ownership of DMity
I want to takeover the ownership of the subject package, however, I don't seem to be able to do so from within the package database. Can anyone please advise? Thanks. Ian-- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Re: Ownership of DMity
Username is chameleon, and I am a new contributor so I don't yet have sponsorship. Thanks for replying.

What's your FAS username? Are you sponsored into the packager group? -Toshio -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Re: Ownership of DMitry
Thanks for your reply. I had read the Wiki page, but there's no mention of new contributors adopting orphaned packages. So I have to submit the orphan as new all over again in order to kickstart the new contributor process? Thanks.

Re: DMitry
Thanks for the information. I have tried to contact upstream with no success, their website hasn't been updated in a while, and the latest sources appear to be five years old. There hasn't been a package update in three months so I'll submit as new after I fix a few issues. Thanks.
