I’ve submitted it for inclusion for Fedora 39 (it is already present in Fedora Rawhide).

Unfortunately, the changes to the documentation tooling have forced me to drop the local build of the documentation. This (combined with the MirAL changes) means that it will only be available for Fedora 39 and later.
