the releng work is honestly minimal, I used to go in and fix broken
spins, I don't any more. I think we still need to have a central
Releng. we need to make the process simplified and streamlined. we need
to enagage the different parts of the fedora eco-system to test and
sign off on the things they care about.

the script to make the spins is
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/releng/tree/scripts/build-livecds
each livecd is a koji task. putting it in place is minimal work. I
would like to work on a tool to mash the lives and appliances. QA is a
much bigger task.
