This is a small prototype to explore improving contributor onboarding via Matrix.

What this is

Maubot plugin for Matrix
Helps with onboarding

Features

!ask → answers questions from Fedora docs
!openticket → creates onboarding ticket

Why

Reduce repeated questions
Help newcomers get started faster

Current status

Prototype working locally
Tested API integration

Questions / feedback needed

Is this aligned with onboarding workflow?
Preferred way to integrate with WelcomeToFedora repo?
Existing bot infrastructure I should use instead?

Technical overview

Maubot plugin (Python)
Uses docs2db + FedoraDocsRAG via docs2db-api for retrieval
Queries Fedora documentation and returns relevant snippets (not a general AI model)
