Help wanted with ansible mysql/mariadb collections

[Orion Poplawski]

The ansible collection community.mysql has been renamed to 
ansible.mysql.  This has then been forked to ansible.mariadb to 
specifically support MariaDB.

Since I actually use MariaDB instead of MySQL, I'm not interested in 
maintaining the mysql collection any more and am looking for someone to 
take it over.  It should be pretty much ready to go -

Pull request to update community.mysql to 5.0.2:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ansible-collection-community-mysql/pull-r...

this will require ansible.mysql to be packaged first.  I believe I have 
a package ready to be submitted for review here:

Spec URL: 
https://orion.fedorapeople.org/ansible-collection-ansible-mysql.spec
SRPM URL: 
https://orion.fedorapeople.org/ansible-collection-ansible-mysql-5.2.0-1.fc46...

I've submitted ansible.mariadb for review here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2521265

if nobody else steps in I could do it. However, we're using MariaDB as well
and I could test stuff on EL10, only (EPEL10). Not the best precondition,
either ...

I guess, you plan to create EPEL branches also for ansible.mariadb?

Could do the review, but maybe you could do me a favour and also take a look
on:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2456925

It's quite old meanwhile and bitrot might have started already ;-) I'd like
to bring this into EPEL9+EPEL10 mainly.

Cheers,
Andreas
