Non-responsive maintainer for nim/jetbrains-mono-fonts package

[Michael Kuhn]

Hi,

jetbrains-mono-fonts is scheduled for retirement due to not building
since Fedora 33. I have opened a PR some time ago, fixing this problem:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/jetbrains-mono-fonts/pull-request/2
However, the maintainer seems to be inactive at the moment. I would be
happy to help or take over maintaining this package since I do not want
to see it removed from Fedora.

If anyone knows how to reach nim, please let me know.
I have opened the maintainer check bug at:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2050353

Best regards,
Michael

AFAIK nim went MIA over a year ago and sadly I've not heard anything about their
whereabouts. But treat this as hearsay, as I have no written evidence.


Cheers,

Hi Dan,

thanks for the information! I just found similar statements in the
"List of long term FTBFS packages to be retired in March" thread, which
I didn't see before sending my previous e-mail. Let's see whether he
replies; if not, I will follow up with a FESCo issue.

FYI: I forgot to CC nim in the initial e-mail but have forwarded it to
him separately (and also added him now). I hope that is fine.

Best regards,
Michael
