To put it bluntly -- and the Fedora Project has done a good job at teaching people to be more blunt -- if you're so reluctant with regard to many simple things/tasks, one alternative is to sit and wait and offer your packages somewhere else. Such as Fedora Copr. Or hope that Fedora leadership will move away from current procedures more quickly -- if that still is what they would like to do. Then, however, much will be different, and it is hard to say whether "the distribution" will still be popular at all. It cannot be repeated often enough: The package review queue is publicly visible. If a package in the queue(s) is not evaluated by anyone at all in the community, that means that there is no interest in the package or no interest in maintaining the package with the package collection. For quite some people it is less effort to run with selfmade packages in a private local repo than becoming a volunteer package maintainer with interest in team work (for example). > > I laid out clear steps for you to follow - they are not complicated. > > Perhaps not to someone familiar with the process.
