There are various forms of package maintenance, such as: 1. Simply creating RPM packages for upstream's releases, forwarding all bug reports to upstream. 2. Creating RPM packages based on upstream's source code, regardless of whether it's an official release or a snapshot from the revision control system or something with added patches, plus contributing debugging and patches and/or forwarding bug reports to upstream. 3. Co-maintaining a Fedora package with other people, distributing the various tasks among the team members: packaging, testing, debugging, fixing bugs, communicating with upstream, handling Fedora bugzilla tickets, handling updates and upgrades, cherry-picking of patches found in upstream's SCM system or in other public places, keeping an eye on build/runtime requirements, keeping an eye on upstream development. Packaging requires getting familiar with RPM and Fedora's documentation for members of the "packager" group: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Package_Maintainers#Get_Involved Things a potential contributor/maintainer could examine: * http://soundconverter.org/ * https://github.com/kassoulet/soundconverter * state of the Python 3 code base * https://bugs.launchpad.net/soundconverter/+bugs?orderby=-id&start=0 * soundconverter's dependencies in the Fedora package space -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
