I think it would be better to update the ImageMagick package to
version 
7 and create a compatibility package ImageMagick6.

Anyone is going to review the package or not ?

If you have provided ImageMagic6 as most of the people suggests, you wold not need review at all:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/ReviewGuidelines/

~~~

Contributors and reviewers MUST follow the Package Review Process, with the following exceptions:

* The package is being created so that multiple versions of the same package can coexist in the distribution (or coexist between EPEL and RHEL). The package MUST be properly named according to the naming guidelines and MUST NOT conflict with all other versions of the same package.

I already explain the situation in the other emails on this thread .

I estimate that I will need about 200 hours to do what your brilliants
minds ask .

And btw, asking to the others to have the work that you maybe don't
have in your packages , is very easy. if I do the compat package and
wait for 200 packages dependency adapt to the change, will be a chaos ,
and I don't like ignore all the tickets opened around it. 

ImageMagick-7.0.1-10 was release on 2016-06-07, today is 2022-12-03 so
after 6 Years and 5 Months and 26 Days, we still haven't  any 
ImageMagick 7 in Fedora or EL, so or you help me on do it in my way ,
or I won't do it . 

That is why package guidelines should be a guide and not all  and not
the all truth rule, when in practice you don't follow it just claim it.
