A small comment about the split I mentioned earlier:
As a developer who wants their program to build on linux, your responsibilities
stop at providing a way for people to build the program on any random
distribution. In the case of Atomes, there are only files that go under
/usr/bin and /usr/share, which are pretty much standard locations on almost
every distribution and that simplifies the life of a distro maintainer. So all
you need to worry about is that after e.g. a
./configure
make
make install
the program would compile successfully and the files would end up in reasonable
places.

As a package maintainer, your job is to tailor the package to the specifics of
a/your distribution, i.e. make sure dependencies are satisfied, follow the
distro's guidelines, use distro-specific tools and all that.

Your developer self should do their development only in the Atomes repository
and stop there. Your Fedora package maintainer self would then create the
Atomes-rpm-build or Atomes-GNU repository in the distribution's dist-git
(src.fedoraproject.org).

Of course, all of the above is just a suggestion, you do whatever works for
you.
