no problem.  happy to participate in future discussions if needed.

I agree with this approach.  I think it would encourage ownership as well.

This could be done without to much trouble.  Each directory in 
Fedora-Dockerfiles stands on it's own.  It would be a good starting 
point for the eventual maintainer of each component.  I do think it 
would make sense to leave Fedora-Dockerfiles in some working state 
moving forward for others to practice on.  Unless there was some well 
defined process for sharing the dist-git content.  I'm not familiar with 
dist-get.

Yup, could do that.
