This is a bit unfortunate considering this is package

I don't think that's true, can you explain?
Well, the "join the package collection maintainers" document
explicitly tells new packagers to install fedora-packager, because it
will "bring in everything necessary for general packaging work".
Sorry, I was going off the $SUBJECT that referened "fedora-package", which
didn't exist as far as I could tell.  *fedora-packager*, yes indeed.

Sorry for the typo and confusion. I was speaking about fedora-packager
indeed.

And people need it not just because the "join ..." page suggests that,
but there appears to be circular dependency between fedpkg and
fedora-packager, presumably because fedora-pacakger ships some
configuration files for koji, etc.

I think that the idea behind this package was to have everything
possibly needed by Fedora packager installed by single package. But when
it is not maintained, then it somehow looses its point.

I'd like to revisit this discussion.

Can we get rid of that package or make it maintained again?
