The wiki page us pretty clear, you just need to file a ticket with
RelEng, see
an example here
https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7273
When they accept your request, you then have full control of the
package and
manage it like any other one with fedpkg.

You should have fedrepo-req installed for creating new package repo
and new
branches. Since it is an orphaned package, it already has existing
branches
and you probably won't need to create new ones. Unless you want to
add it to
EPEL.
Anyhow it would be a good thing for you to learn how to use this
tool. There's
a howto on Pagure
https://pagure.io/fedrepo_req
Typically for a new package you do:
$ fedrepo-req -t [Review Request Bug Number] -m [Type of Monitoring]
[Package
Name] [Optional Additional Branch]
For example:
$ fedrepo-req -t 1508126 -m monitoring-with-scratch micro f27
Then you may need to request additional branches, like F26 or EPEL7.
For that
you need to use fedrepo-req-branch
$ fedrepo-req-branch [Package Name] [Additional Branch]
For example:
$ fedrepo-req-branch micro f26
Then you wait for the ticket to be processed by Gwyn Cierla at
https://
pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issues It's pretty fast usually.
OK , many thanks for all help and tips .
Best regards,
