Hello folks!

I would like to become a maintainer/packager of package scrot [1] that was dropped [2] last year. (Disclaimer: I have experience with maintaining some packages in COPR but not with actually maintaining packages in the official Fedora repos. I'm completely new to this.)

In the docs there is a section about Claiming Ownership of an Orphaned Package [3] but I'm not sure whether this still applies if the package was already dropped.

Should I follow the New Package Process for New Contributors [4] as if the package was completely new?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards
