  • Describe the issue

gnome-activity-journal is useful and I'd volunteer to maintain it. I have built rpms before using mock/etc. for personal projects, been a user of Fedora since early days, and would reach out to Fedora Package Maintainers (I know some)

  • When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)

I'm ready to do this soon.

  • When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)

N/A

  • If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?

gnome-activity-journal will not be available in Fedora

Hi @mtd!

Thanks for opening this request, however, I see the package was retired more than a year ago, so it violates the 8+ week policy, hence we need a Bugzilla review with a fedora-review+ tag! Once we have that, feel free to open this or a new ticket, and I'll process it;

There are a few things that you need to ensure before getting ownership of this package. Make sure you are in the packagers group[1] and if the package is retired for more than 8 weeks, you need to file a Bugzilla ticket which is the package review tracking ticket that is required only for new or long retired packages[2].

Thanks for the instructions. I'll get started.
