I would be interested in taking waypipe. The project is still active
upstream[1] (FTBS[2] in fedora had already been fixed there), does work
as of right now (tested on fedora32), and it is generally something I
would consider useful... There just aren't many wayland applications one
would want to "ssh -X" into yet, but as long as upstream is active I
would support it.


I'm not a maintainer though, so can't just hit "take".
What would the procedure be for that? Wait until it gets orphaned next
week and submit it again as a new package?

In the off-chance it might get revived without going through the orphan
process, I've submitted remote PRs on pagure, both on fedora 32
branch[3] and master[4] ; the simple koji test succeeded in both.

FWIW, looking at the requirements on the "Join the package collection
maintainers" page[5], I do have all required accounts, introduced myself
in 2015[6] so just took a bit of time to follow through, and can
probably beg for a sponsor or two if required (added an ex-coworker in
Cc who is an active packager, and who would probably vouch for me if
required. Hi Stéphane!); I just don't see anything about starting from
an orphaned package. If anyone is on centos lists, I'm also very grumpy,
but don't speak up much unless I have good reasons to.)
