Thank you for your feedback and observations.

To clarify:

- I am a downstream co-maintainer of the OpenDMARC package for Fedora,
not an upstream developer of the project.
- I fully agree that the lack of upstream activity is far from ideal.
However, OpenDMARC remains a widely used package, and I believe it
still provides value to Fedora users.
- The purpose of the proposed change is to enhance downstream packaging.

Regarding the concern about upstream activity:

- I am not aware of any actively maintained forks of OpenDMARC, nor
any distributions currently sourcing from such forks. Please, correct
if I'm wrong so I can check status.
- Unless something changes, my current plan (and I hope Kevin the
other co-maintainer agrees) is to continue maintaining the package
downstream, applying necessary patches to address issues as they
arise.

Regards,
Mikel
