Hello,

Yes, I know Python 2 will be soon removed, but I can't just let Bleachbit die.  It's too useful for that.
Finding a sponsor seems to be the hard bit.  I've been looking for one for ages.
Thanks for the answer.

Kind regards,
Silvia
FAS:  Lailah

Usually, to become a package maintainer you should get sponsored by
creating your first package and by commenting to some reviews:

Since you don't have any new package to add, you could just start doing
some informal reviews to get acquainted with the Fedora Packaging
Guidelines and to find some sponsor that will let you join the packager
group:

Be advised that Python2 will soon be removed from Fedora and from what I
can see Bleachbit requires Python2... unless upstream switches to
support Python3, this could be the wrong package to start with as it
will be retired as well.
