Why not, I'd like to try, at least with the call for volunteers. Just to
have an idea, how much time roughly is required? I'd have to get a
couple of authorizations

If you all are willing to volunteer, and/or help find other
volunteers, I will try to find folks to mentor you to get you started
to keep the RPMs going. Unfortunately, I have already spoken to folks
in both Alma and Rocky, a year ago and again this weekend at a
conference, to see if they could assist and they do not have the
resources.
There was previously a small team of 2-3 engineers working on RDO but
as mentioned in the release announcement email they moved on to other
positions.

Thank you,
is it possible to try again to search for volunteers before
abandoning definitively the RPM packages? Less diversity is a loss
for everyone, and maybe people did not fully realize the situation
(me including, didn't read the announcement email as I'm still
running Caracal 😅). Cross-posting with other mailing
lists/IRC/ops meetings could be useful, and if the alternative is
RPM discontinuation, more people might be interested.
If I can ask, how many people would (ideally) be necessary/how
many RPMs are around?
