First, a disclaimer: I've never maintained these projects, so I have no
personal experience.

The current state is that PD+Oraculum were without a maintainer for about a
year. And it was surprisingly stable, from what I know.

The initial maintenance would mostly involve the migration of the projects:
https://forge.fedoraproject.org/apps/packager_dashboard/issues/191
https://forge.fedoraproject.org/apps/oraculum/issues/222
(That might be actually done by Fedora Infra instead).

Some of its dependencies got migrated as well, and will require code
changes:
https://forge.fedoraproject.org/apps/oraculum/issues/224

The containers which PD+Oraculum are using are outdated now and need
replacing:
https://forge.fedoraproject.org/apps/oraculum/issues/220
(But again Infra already did some work on this).

I guess it would also be good to update all libraries used in the project
to the latest version.

After these changes are done, if you want to just maintain the app and not
develop it further, I think there's nothing urgent. Just watch for things
breaking (because of some API change, new library changing some behavior
slightly, etc) and fix those.

There will be larger changes needed when big shifts in Fedora infra
happen. E.g. Pagure is getting decommissioned soon, but it hopefully
shouldn't affect Oraculum as long as it's still used for disgit (but it's
good to check asap). But once distgit is moved, it will surely need updates
for the new system. The same goes with Bugzilla, if/when we replace it, it
will need updates for the new system.

I'm surely Frantisek can provide better instructions and tips, but he's
away for a few weeks, he might reply here once he gets back.
