I daily drive Fedora and I would like to start contributing to packagingšŸ“¦

The hurdles are more of a social nature for me—the new tools are definitely a challenge but overcoming that comes more naturally to me.

The documentation definitely helps, but has a lot of recursive links so getting an overview takes a minute :)

The guidelines are extremely overwhelming at the start, but as someone who just recently went through the process of becoming a maintainer, the single most useful and insightful source were the tutorials on how to package your app. It's step by step with explanations on why you need each thing. There are two tutorials, and I'd recommend both if you haven't done them yet.
