I’ve got a couple of packages for which I’ve been maintaining local spec files for a few Fedora versions now and it strikes me it would make sense to have that work be useful to someone other than myself. Is there a simpleton’s version written up somewhere of how to resurrect a package and become its maintainer?

In both cases I nuked the spec file history but I assume policy would want me to incorporate the old changelogs from before the packages disappeared?
