So, there are two different documents with two different target
audiences.

- The first is this:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers

This is intended for newbies. It goes through the whole process step by
step.  On this page, fedpkg is introduced at the "Add package to SCM"
step:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers#Add_Package_to_Source_Code_Management_.28SCM.29_system_and_Set_Owner

Unfortunately, at the "Make your package" stage:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers#Make_a_Package

The "How to create an RPM package" now links to:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-rpm-packages/index.html

which introduces fedpkg out of the blue. From what I remember, it used
to link to the "How to create a GNU Hello world package" which focuses
on building the rpm only and not the rest of the process. This is here:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/create-hello-world-rpm/

Unless there are strong objections, I will update the wiki page to make
it point back to the "How to create a GNU Hello world package" page.

- The second document is for existing maintainers:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/New_package_process_for_existing_contributors

This also summarises the process. In "Make the package", this also links
to the fedpkg based page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/New_package_process_for_existing_contributors

but here, that's OK---existing maintainers are aware of fedpkg and its
powers already.
