I'm free most days after about 14:00 or 15:00UTC.

Defining what should be in a reasonably complete HPC Comps group
Define a complete component list
Pick which of those components should be default vs. optional
Identify packages not yet in Fedora that are on the list and
allow people to sign up to get them through a review process
and in Fedora
Identify any shortcomings in upstream standards for HPC
packages (there's a lot here, eg. the upstream MPI groups
don't have the faintest clue on how to get together and
create a standard installation layout or anything else)
Where upstream has no clue about doing things in a standard
way, at least work to create one inside the framework
of Fedora and attempt to push it to upstream if they are
receptive of the idea.
Identify packages in Fedora that need updating/changing to
meet said standards
Allow people to sign up to work those changes if the package
maintainer is unable to do so
Something along those lines ought to get things started.
