This is the second time this has been requested, but not yet actioned.

Can we resolve this before allowing this Change Proposal to proceed,
please?  I think its in Fedora's interest to see 'new redis' maintained
by group, rather than an individual, if the existing maintainers wish to
(continue to) be involved.

The 'new' valkey package is very closely derived from redis packaging
which other Fedora maintainers have been looking after for ~14 years.

There is no big rush to switch AFAICT though, as Redis[Labs] stated
they continue to provide updates for redis-7.2.4 (including CVE fixes,
which is a big part of the Fedora workload) for the foreseeable future.

Some other technical questions:
- it could be advantageous if the new compat sub-package contained
the redis binary symlinks & not the primary valkey package (this could
allow valkey and redict packages to coexist, for example).  Long-term
we may want to drop those entirely (along with the compat package, to
complete the transition away from Redis).
- what happened to the man page patch Remi made?  we should carry
it forward into the new package (and try again with new upstream folks
to get it merged there).
- we need to coordinate on the handling of the redis modules in Fedora -
RediSearch, rebloom and rejson.  I've begun transitioning these working
with upstream, but more time would be helpful.

cheers.
