For some years now, I have maintained a collection of mathematical packages and some of their dependencies in Fedora. I actually stopped using the packages in question awhile ago, but have been maintaining them out of inertia. I would like to free up time to get some code checking and formal methods packages into Fedora. But I need to divest myself of the sagemath and Macaulay2 stacks in order to have time to do so.
There are 241 packages listed below. I am primary maintainer for 217 of them. Before anybody panics, I am not talking about orphaning them now. My plan is to spend the next 12 months searching for people willing to step into the primary maintainer role for these packages. I will repeat this message at regular intervals in hope of finding willing participants. One year from now, if I have not given all of these packages away, then I will orphan the rest.
This is not a collection of packages that is falling apart. They are high quality packages. Very little needs to be done right away.
If you have interest in any of the listed packages, please get in touch. It doesn't matter if you are currently a Fedora packager or not. If not, I will sponsor you via the comaintainer path, and stick around until you feel comfortable handling the package yourself. It doesn't matter if you are interested in only a single package. Contact me anyway.
To help those who may be new to packaging, I have started documenting some of my workflows. I have a set of web pages rooted here:
https://jamezone.org/pleasure/software/Fedora/packager/
Those pages contain walk-throughs and examples illustrating how I approach various tasks. I'm willing to donate any of that content to Fedora, so if you see something you think should be on docs.fedoraproject.org, feel free to tell me so. Also feel free to suggest additions or changes to what I have there.

As far as I know, neither bagnara nor pcpa is actively involved in Fedora anymore, so once I step away from their packages, the packages will effectively be unmaintained.
If you want to see how these packages are related to each other, here is a graph showing all of the packages I am involved with in Fedora:
https://jamezone.org/pleasure/software/Fedora/fedora.pdf
The black ovals are packages for which I am primary maintainer, blue are packages for which I am comaintainer, green are packages for which I am neither but I maintain the package anyway, and red are packages that I normally don't touch except for the occasional rebuild due to an soname bump or similar. The ones I am talking about stepping away from are primarily on the right half of the diagram.
