If you wouldn't mind sponsoring me, I would love to take on bangarang and
basket, which is also set to be removed. I would really hate to see
either of them go.
I have taken a look at their spec files and I think can handle the RPM
side
of things just fine. I just need to brush up on Fedora's policies and
learn how to deal with koji, bodhi, et al.
You can scratch koji off that list, at least. I was looking over the
packaging documentation in the wiki and discovered that anyone can do
scratch builds, so I tested it out by building bangarang's current git:
