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code changes: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/apps/oraculum/issues/224 The containers which PD+Oraculum are using are outdated now and need replacing: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/apps/oraculum/issues/220 (But again Infra already did some work on this).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.
