So I went to request a new branch of an existing package only to find out fedrepo-req-branch, which hasn't been around that long is already depreceated and the facility brought into fedpkg... so:
$ fedpkg request-branch <branch>
Could not execute request_branch: The "token" value must be set under the "fedpkg.pagure" section in your "fedpkg" user configuration
Ok, so where does that get stored?
$ man fedpkg
(not in there...)
$ vi /usr/share/doc/fedpkg/README
(not in there...)
I figured out somewhere else that the default config is in /etc/rpkg/fedpkg.conf (In /etc/rpkg? That's intuitive!) but I didn't want to add my token to the site wide config so the search continues...
$ rpm -ql fedpkg
(pokes around)
$ vi /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fedpkg/__main__.py
...
def main():
default_user_config_path = os.path.join(
os.path.expanduser('~'), '.config', 'rpkg', '%s.conf' % cli_name)
...
Found it!
Oh and the tokens expire all the time and don't seem to have any helper scripts to automate updating of the tokens so I have to remember where they all are and manually edit them every time...

Not coming from a programming background I found the learning curve pretty steep when I first tried to become a packager, I'm not sure I wouldn't have given up if I had to do it now.
Thanks,
Richard
