Hi,

Great to see that you're still working actively to become a Fefora packager.
And I'm so sorry for not responding sooner. I've changed teams at my work and
I've been crazy busy with tasks for the new team ever since. I've put looking
at your package submissions high on my to do list and I hope to get around to
them sometime this week.

WRT dead upstreams, that is unfortunate. However if the software in question is
reasonably complete and stable, and you're actively using it (ie have a purpose
for it), then it is fine to package software with a dead upstream. We've plenty
of examples of that. It is not an ideal solution though. So you'll need to
decide if you want to move forward with those 2 submissions as well, or if you
want to drop them. If you want to drop them, you can simply close the bugs,
with a short explanation why you're dropping them.

Thanks & Regards,

Hans
