[releng] Issue #7124: Splitting the "sustmi" GNOME Shell extensions into separate packages

[Andrew Toskin]

terrycloth reported a new issue against the project: `releng` that you are following:
``
I maintain two GNOME Shell extensions, currently subpackages of the
`gnome-shell-extension-sustmi` package. Upstream finally decided to split the extensions
into separate git repositories, so now I think it makes sense to split them into separate
RPMs.

I have a couple open review requests on Bugzilla to make sure there's a sane upgrade
path. They've been marked as approved.

*
[gnome-shell-extension-windowoverlay-icons](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/sh...
*
[gnome-shell-extension-historymanager-prefix-search](https://bugzilla.redh...

But from reading the [Upgrade Paths wiki
page](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrade_paths_%E2%80%94_renaming_or_...,
it's not super clear to me what to do next. Someone in RelEng needs to approve the new
packages, right...?

``
Oh, I noticed the "Upgrade Paths" wiki article also says to start the process of
retiring the old original package in unstable branches of Fedora and on EPEL. I've
executed `fedpkg retire ...` now for EPEL7, f27, and master.

The old subpackages do not appear in any comps or Spins, as far as I know.

These are GNOME Shell extensions, not fonts, so I don't know if I should be emailing
some other SIG mailing list.

Is there anything else I need to do? Let me know.

Thanks.

Sorry, one more time. Is there anything else I need to do before the newly split packages
can be accepted? Let me know.

I've posted to the
[devel](https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[e-mail]...
and
[packaging](https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/packaging@lists....
mailing lists but haven't gotten a lot of response there either.

Sorry to keep bumping this thread. Maybe things had slowed down because it was the end of
the year. Can I get final approval on the package split? Or is there something else I was
supposed to do?
