I can get it updated so we can keep it in Fedora. It looks like Bottles itself doesn't contain any Rust code, so I assume some of its Python dependencies now build native modules that are implemented in Rust? If that's the case, then it should be possible to package them for Fedora. The most prominent example is probably python-cryptography, and assuming the Python packages use setuptools with the setuptools_rust backend for building the native module, it can be used as a guide for how to package Python packages with Rust dependencies correctly. If the projects use maturin as their build backend, some more work is involved, since packaging maturin itself for Fedora will require significant investment of time and resources (that I am currently unable to provide alone). However, it should be possible in almost all cases to "port" Python packages from maturin to setuptools_rust, since setuptools_rust is more flexible and less opinionated than maturin (and they are almost entirely compatible with each other, since they're developed by the same project). Additionally, Fedora builds don't need any of the additional bells and whistles that maturin provides for upstream development (i.e. cross-compilation to different targets + architectures), so porting projects back from maturin to setuptools_rust should usually be possible without losing any functionality that is required for building RPM packages for Fedora.
