how to update rpms/vile?

[Thomas Dickey]

I'm the upstream developer/maintainer for vile (vi like emacs) and a few other
programs packaged in Fedora.
The vile rpm is a couple of years out of date, now, and I don't see recent activity by
the package maintainer.

What can I do to get it moving again?

(Earlier this year, I restored a couple that had been orphaned, but that isn't the
current state for vile).

Hello,

mmckinst seems to have been marked as an Inactive Packager looking at 
the recently introduced Inactive Packager Policy:
https://pagure.io/find-inactive-packagers/issue/230

As such, he will loose packager status in two months in case he doesn't 
answer.

If you don't want to wait for two months, you can follow the 
Non-responsive Maintainer Policy:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Policy_for_nonresponsive_packa...

If the request is granted, his packages will be orphaned, and any 
packager will be able to pick it up, including you.

He last logged into the Fedora Account System on the 18th of August 2020.

Greetings,
Lyes Saadi
