[sword-devel] Fedora packager?

For a while I've been the basket holder for packaging the CrossWire related
packages in Fedora. These include:

biblesync
mingw-biblesync
sword
mingw-sword
xiphos
bibletime

As I have not been a Fedora user in quite some time and do not stay abreast
of the latest developments over there, I am left in a pretty reactionary
position every time a new package rule comes out. For instance in the
current month I have had to respond to issues with CMake 4.0
incompatibility, changing the generated build files from make to Ninja,
changing of the test runners, and changes in the CMake invocation process
for several of these packages.

Without a Fedora machine or frequent usage of these environments, this
becomes a somewhat tedious process for me to resurrect a Fedora VM,
re-learn all the Fedora packaging commands, etc.

Is anyone an active Fedora user, approved packager, and wanting to take on
these responsibilities? It would alleviate my mind quite a bit if someone
else would take these on. Thanks!
