[Bug 1908952] New: Please package Libertinus (successor to Linux Libertine and Biolinum fonts)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1908952

Bug ID: 1908952
           Summary: Please package Libertinus (successor to Linux
                    Libertine and Biolinum fonts)
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 33
            Status: NEW
         Component: linux-libertine-fonts
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
        QA Contact: [e-mail]
                CC: [e-mail], [e-mail],

  Target Milestone: ---
    Classification: Fedora

Hi! From the wikipedia page, today I learned that the Linux Libertine (and
companion "Biolinum") font has been unmaintained for many years, and that since
then the project has been forked and maintained with hundreds of bugfixes and
many new releases, under the new name "Libertinus". It can be found here:
https://github.com/alerque/libertinus

Since it is the same font but improved and with different names, could you
please package it for Fedora? I'd really love to use it without needing to
manually download it (and remember doing so) regularly.

--- Comment #1 from Akira TAGOH  ---
Since they have different family names, they should be packaged as a different
package in theory. reassigning to Fonts component so far.

Also, just FYI if anyone else are keen to volunteer packaging this,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_package_lifecycle might helps to make some
progress on this.

Moving to distribution for wider visibility - anyone could pick up and
contribute this font package to Fedora.
