Intention to take over orphaned packages: php-aws-sdk3, php-ralouphie-getallheaders, php-guzzlehttp-guzzle6

Hi everyone,

I'm not in the packager group yet and looking for a Sponsor to completed the
onboarding process. 
Afterwards I want to become the maintainer of the orphaned packages php-aws-sdk3 [1],
php-ralouphie-getallheaders [2] and php-guzzlehttp-guzzle6 [3]. 
My main motivation is to keep the php-aws-sdk3 package alive. 
The other two are orphaned dependencies that I'm willing to adopt too.

The review for my first Fedora package is ongoing [4]. 
If you want to learn more about me, I did send a self introduction recently [5].

I'm also interested to co-maintain ec2-hibinit-agent [6] and talked with maintainer
davdunc [7] about it. 
He's happy to get a co-maintainer but all boils down that I'm not in the packager
group yet.

I'm looking for guidance what's the best way forward. 
Should I raising an issue at packager-sponsors [8]?
Or reach out to active sponsors [9] directly?

I can probably help for PHP reviews

Notice:

- php-ralouphie-getallheaders: this is a compat layer  providing a 
missing function in PHP < 7.3 for php-fpm users

Please check you really still need it ;)

- php-guzzlehttp-guzzle6: this was version 6

A new package is probably needed for version 7

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1982627
(this stalled review was for 7.3.0, current is 7.8.1)

- php-aws-sdk3: is really outdated (3.191.10 => 3.305.1)

New version probably have different dependencies

I suspect you may need awscrt extension which is quite
a nightmare as it bundles tons of libaws-*

Thank you, appreciated!

Good point, that dependency comes from php-guzzlehttp-psr7 which still depends on
php-ralouphie-getallheaders even in newer versions :-/

Right and aws-sdk-php seem to be fine with guzzlehttp/guzzle ^7.4.5 but as you stated, not
packaged in Fedora yet.

Yeah going through them right now to get an understanding what current dependencies are
missing in Fedora.

You suspect right, "aws/aws-crt-php": "^1.2.3".

Wow cool, thanks for sharing. Is there a reasons you didn't use your package to create
one for Fedora? It looks like you did all the heavy lifting already.

What I can already tell: I opened a can of worms with my wish to keep php-aws-sdk3 alive.
It will be a challenge but a good learning opportunity too.

As I said, because of bundled libraries

And also lack or PHP reviewers
I already have tons of packages waiting for review for months
