I can help co-maintaining and I think I can bring another co-maintainer. We've been creating custom libreoffice packages for a project so, we can bring a little experience

I've taken ownership of libreoffice for the time being, at least to keep the lights on. Co-maintainers, as always, welcome.

We are adjusting our engineering priorities for RHEL for Workstations and focusing on gaps in Wayland, building out HDR support, building out what’s needed for color-sensitive work, and a host of other refinements required by Workstation users. This is work that will improve the workstation experience for Fedora as well as RHEL users, and which, we hope, will be positively received by the entire Linux community.

As part of that, the engineers doing that work will contribute some fixes upstream to ensure LibreOffice works better as a Flatpak, which we expect to be the way that most people consume LibreOffice in the long term.
