Hello
If you are still looking for co-maintainers, I can also help.

I've taken ownership of libreoffice for the time being, at least to keep the
lights on. Co-maintainers, as always, welcome.

Hey,
as you've probably seen, the LibreOffice RPMS have recently been orphaned, and
I thought it would be good to explain the reasons
behind this.
The Red Hat Display Systems team (the team behind most of Red Hat’s desktop
efforts) has maintained the LibreOffice packages in Fedora for years as part of
our work to support LibreOffice for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We are adjusting
our engineering priorities for RHEL for Workstations and focusing on gaps in
Wayland, building out HDR support, building out what’s needed for
color-sensitive work, and a host of other refinements required by Workstation
users. This is work that will improve the workstation experience for Fedora as
well as RHEL users, and which, we hope, will be positively received by the
entire Linux community.
The tradeoff is that we are pivoting away from work we had been doing on
desktop applications and will cease shipping LibreOffice as part of RHEL
starting in a future RHEL version. This also limits our ability to maintain it
in future versions of Fedora.
We will continue to maintain LibreOffice in currently supported versions of
RHEL (RHEL 7, 8 and 9) with needed CVEs and similar for the lifetime of those
releases (as published on the Red Hat website). As part of that, the engineers
doing that work will contribute some fixes upstream to ensure LibreOffice works
better as a Flatpak, which we expect to be the way that most people consume
LibreOffice in the long term.
Any community member is of course free to take over maintenance, both for the
RPMS in Fedora and the Fedora LibreOffice Flatpak, but be aware that this is a
sizable block of packages and dependencies and a significant amount of work to
keep up with.
Matthias
