Hi,
I've become a co-maintainer of miniz recently, because it's a dependency
of one of my other packages and the (previously sole) maintainer was in
a much similar position.

My interest in the package was to fix it to provide pkgconfig file for
easy detection. It turned out that it's provided by upstream, but not
present in the Fedora package. So, I fixed that. This entailed switching
to using upstream cmake build system (as opposed to building it manually).
PR with the change is here:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/miniz/pull-request/2

The new build is a bit different. The headers are stored in
/usr/include/miniz instead of /usr/include and the SONAME is provided by
upstream (libminiz.so.3) instead of the previous downstream-only
libminiz.so.0.3. Naturally, all consumers need to be rebuilt against the
new SONAME and adjusted for the new headers location if applicable.

The upside is that the library can be detected natively using cmake or
pkgconfig and builds fine using CMake 4.0, too.

I have provenpackager privileges, so I'll do the necessary rebuilds and
adjustments in a side tag. Affected packages are listed below:
Pencil2D
ags
attract-mode
perl-Sereal-Decoder
perl-Sereal-Encoder
tinyexr

Maintainers have been Bcc'd.

Regards,
Dominik
