Kees, if you still decide to become a maintainer, when you get sponsored, you can apply for co-maintainership of ddclient. I'm sure cicku will be happy to have a second pair of hands.

How to take ownership of orphaned package: ddclient
Hi, I would like to take over this orphaned package: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/orphaned/ https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/ddclient/ According to this webpage I should notify this email list: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Orphaned_package_that_need_new_maintainers I have no RPM packaging experience yet. That's why I want to take over an orphaned package to my liking and learn what's already been done. I'm already reading the package maintainer documentation. How should I proceed since I'm not a developer yet and can't change the ownership in the package database.
