Adding the fmt8 package sounds like a good plan to me. Thanks!

If you do these kinds of changes in the future, I think it makes sense to
prioritize getting rebuilds done for packages that are included on Fedora's
release blocking images (Workstation, KDE, etc). It's more OK to push out a
change that breaks an odd leaf package somewhere, but what's most important
is that rawhide composes keep happening and for that we need the package
set that's on release blocking images to not have dependency issues.

It sounds like you really need provenpackager access as well to be able to
drive fmt changes in the future. I see you've already applied so it looks
like you are a step ahead here. :)

Keep up the good work!
