I wonder if we can find some interest with other folks in other RPM
distros with the packages app... There isn't much about it that is
Fedora-specific. It doesn't even depend on Koji, which means people
who use other tooling could use it. So building up a group interested
could help with porting it to Python 3 and making it more configurable
for usage by other distros (if any such work is needed).

It was never implemented as far as I know. That said, I had been
recently talking to some folks at openSUSE about developing a new
protocol to replace 1-Click-Install (ymp) and some of the other custom
things being used. If this is something people want, it's something I
can prioritize advancing.
