Given that this has been retired for more than 8 weeks (in fact, for way longer, more than 3 years), it needs a rereview anyway, see: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Retirement_Process/#claiming So you can mostly just follow the usual process for getting sponsored: submit your specfile for review (but mention in the bug comments that it is a rereview for a retired package) and follow: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/New_Package_Process_for_New_Contributors/ until the point where you would request a new dist-git repository to be created. The repository already exists, so in this case, you want instead to request unretirement as per: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Retirement_Process/#claiming – but please only after you got sponsored and the review request got approved!
