Hi Sylvia,
Just wondering, what were the places you were looking at to
find the information how to start maintaining package in Fedora.
Or what is the reason you want to package something into Fedora.
I am asking, since there are various ongoing activities to make
the process easier to newcomers [1], but unfortunately, they are
not always successful. So would it be for example helpful, if
gnome-software shown some link with help how to package the
missing software, e.g.
1) Open Gnome Software
2) Sear for "myfavoriteapp"
3) The link [2] is provided instead of "Application was not
found" message.
Would this help or just make you confused? Would the similar
approach for Fedora packages [3] helped? Is there some other
place you were looking at which long time Fedora package does
not visit, but newcomer does?

Hello!
To be honest I looked at wikis and so, but I'm still rather
confused, I don't know really where or how to start. Why do I want
to start packaging? Well, I want to keep contributing to Fedora but
more into development. As I know programming languages but I'm not
too experienced I think starting with packaging and/or maintaining
something small will fit better my skills.
Your approach (offering a link in Gnome Software when a program is
missing) would be great, I think.
Cheers,
Sylvia
