The Modularity Team works on enabling default modules to be present in

We would love to contributions towards that. I'm willing to mentor
anyone interested regarding Modularity. However, we might be quite close now. And I believe this example raises the priority quite a bit, right? (cc Stephen & Petr)
The difference being: I'm suggesting something that can definitely be done now (maybe even today), and not about "maybe soon"s.
I don't want to sound disrespectful, and I see that a lot of work is being poured into the Modularity effort. However, I don't want to see fedora broken as a result of unfinished solutions, where there's not even a visible agreement on the way forward.
Ah, I haven't taken that as a disrespectful or anything! :-)
Actually, thanks for stepping up and offering help. Definitely agree that this might be a much faster temporary workaround before the proper fix comes. I just wanted to make sure that people understand that it's something we're working on.

Hi everybody,
In the past few weeks, it has come up regularly that future "module-only" packages are orphaned (and hence will soon be retired), and nobody stepped up to fix this issue - especially for non-leaf packages. I don't think fedora as a project has a solution for this yet.
I propose to create a "Stewardship" Group / SIG that will take care of such packages - either until a new main maintainer steps up, or until modularity matures enough so it won't be necessary anymore. (Or, until it dies a quiet death, which is always a possibility.) However, I think this is necessary until the situation stabilizes.
Comments and future contributors are very welcome.
