It seems a considerable amount of packages in fedora don't update

If you find any, open a ticket and mention the new release.
I think we should add some policy to address those unmaintained
packages,
There is the non-responsive maintainer policy already.
currently even provenpackager are not allowed to commit
those packages diretly.
It can't be repeated often enough: We need maintainers for each and every
package in the collection. To have packages and bug reports assigned to an
inactive person A with provenpackager B doing random upgrades from time to
time is a broken system. B ought to become the maintainer instead. And C
and D and E in the community also ought to consider joining the package's
team of maintainers, too.
