Iirc you would get support in terms of infrastructure in case you have a clear
proposal and enough people doing the work. Also they should show, that they
are really interested in doing this for long enough, that it does not look
like a failed project. E.g. starting now a Fedora LTS project and ending it
next year, because there are not enough maintainers/people interested in
doing the work, does not look good for Fedora.
My proposal was clear: start the project when somebody has volunteered
for each of the packages that are in @code and @base (and maybe other
comps groups, I don't remember exactly). And keep a page with the
packages maintained such as not to give wrong expectations.
