Hello Fedora Rust people,
I am interested in packaging Rust applications in Fedora. I think it would be good for me
to start by updating packages that are already present in the repos rather than bringing
in new applications.
Where would be a good place for me to start, and are there restrictions around updating
packages in already-released Fedora versions?
Thanks, and I'll look forward to working with you,
Welcome!
Trying to make sure existing applications are better maintained rather
than adding new stuff is certainly a good idea.
Almost all our packages for Rust applications are set up so they
automatically get bugs filed for new versions, and I try to update
those tickets with stuff that blocks updating the applications. Here's
the list of open tickets for pending application updates:

Hope that helps you find somewhere to start. Look for what those are
blocked by, either in the "Depends on" field in Bugzilla, or in a
comment where I added something like "this needs a new package for
crate XY". :)
If they're not marked as being blocked by anything, I probably haven't
looked at that specific ticket yet, and adding that information is
also very valuable, as it lets me prioritize which library crate
updates to work through first.
