We’re approaching an RC for Pulp’s core but none of the plugins are really ready. I think releasing Pulp for Fedora 31 in the fall might be more feasible but maybe we can re-evaluate in March.

If things are in a usable state, there's no reason not to start the
packaging work and go through the package review process[1]. That lets
us sort out issues early and get them addressed in time for
integration into the distribution. Failing that, there could be a
COPR[2] for it if it doesn't fully make it.

I joined the Pulp team a couple years ago and have been constantly wondering why Fedora is not using Pulp to manage and distribute its RPMs. Maybe at some point we can give you a demo of Pulp 3 and figure out how we can help fill Fedora’s needs.

I know that previously Pulp was considered for at least hosting the
container images[3]. I'm not sure what happened there. It'd be a good
idea to introduce yourself to releng[4] and infrastructure[5] folks
and propose the idea.
