I am orphaning harvey[1], a graphical application that calculates and visualizes color contrast, checking a given set of colors for WCAG contrast compliance. The Fedora package is in excellent condition, but upstream has asked me politely not to maintain it in Fedora[2], preferring for users to get it only via the upstream-maintained flatpaks[3] on the ElementaryOS AppCenter.

While upstream cooperation and permission (beyond the license itself) are not required in order to package open-source software in Fedora – and in some cases there are good reasons to package software that upstream would prefer we didn’t – in this case I choose to respect the upstream maintainer’s wishes.
