I'd note that a key feature of FMN is that it provides human-readable
summaries of messages. For fedmsg this is achieved through the fedmsg
metadata system, and the Fedora providers for it:

https://github.com/fedora-infra/fedmsg_meta_fedora_infrastructure/

for fedora-messaging, the intended way to do approximately the same
thing is with message schemas:

https://fedora-messaging.readthedocs.io/en/latest/messages.html#schema

as part of modernizing FMN and rewriting it on fedora-messaging, we
might well need to get fedora-messaging schema coverage up to a similar
level as we have fedmsg meta coverage. We may want to see if we can
come up with an automated or semi-automated process for converting
fedmsg meta providers to fedora-messaging schemas, even...
