I filed an issue [1] to take over the maintenance of the app. Btw, it
would be easier to find maintainers if expectations were set in
advance, so that they know what they are applying for.

But I'd like to keep this discussion going.

While I am stepping in to _maintain_ the app and infra for it, I don't
have plans to _develop_ it further in its current form.

Thus I think we should consider alternatives and how we can migrate
from a Fedora specific app, to some simple and easy to maintain
tooling.

To give an example: in OpenStack meetings are stored in a git repo
[2], then set of scripts renders jinja template to show them on web
and ical-feed, so you can import the entire set into the calendar of
your choice.
With additional JS magic [3] one can render a nice interactive
calendar on top of it.
