Hello. I am trying to figure out who maintains dbus-python in Fedora.
The main admin is Ray Strode but I haven't seen any activity from Ray
on that package (git log and %changelog).
The default Bugzilla assignee in Fedora is "Alternative GTK desktop
environments" I wasn't able to google this SIG nor to find any
information about them.
That was the sig used by cinnamon and mate devs, besser82, raveit65 and me.
The default Bugzilla assignee in RHEL is Colin Walters but I haven't
seen any activity from Colin on that package **in Fedora** either.
Since cca mid-2018 there was no reply from any maintainer in Bugzillas.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?component=dbus-python&product=Fedora
The last maintainer commits are from 3 years ago by Leigh who (seem
to) used to be the main Bugzilla PoC back then. Everything else is
from provenpackagers or occasional PR merge by one of the 14 (!)
co-maintainers.

The current lack of response is visible for example here:
Update requests piling up since September:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1748056
(Previous update Bugzilla was opened for ~5 months, fixed by
provenpackager.)
Backport request to stable releases hanging in BZ from when Fedora 30
was rawhide:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1663693#c9
Python 3.9 failure with upstream fix that blocks a lot of other
packages, opened 1 month ago:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1788491
I can certainly jump in as provenpackager to update the package and
backport the Python 3.9 fix, however I've already done this during the
Pytohn 3.8 rebase and I would very much prefer to have somebody who
actually cares about this package to maintain it.
There are some "high profile" packages depending on this, for example:
NetworkManager, abrt, anaconda, bolt, dbus, pidgin, python-qt5, tuned...
I have updated dbus-python as cinnamon depends on it but I don't intend
to maintain it again unless I have to.
Full list: `repoquery --repo=rawhide{,-source} --whatrequires
python3-dbus`
Thanks,
