Mostly Hans de Goede and Christian Kellner but also others. Peter maintains all the projects in https://github.com/orgs/rhboot and their respective packages in Fedora. And I help him with that work. We are also involved in the upstream communities of the bootloaders that are used in the architectures supported by Fedora. These are: - GRUB (x86_64 legacy BIOS and EFI, aarch64 EFI and ppc64le OF) - Petitboot (ppc64le OPAL) - zipl (s390x) - u-boot (armv7). But for the last two most of the work and the package maintenance is done by Dan Horák (s390utils-base) and Peter Robinson (uboot-images-armv7). All these people can be contacted in the Fedora devel mailing list. I hope this answers your question, please let me know if you need more details.
