I have nunerous Linux newbie questions, just using "bind" as a package

The new 9.16 test-version of "bind" is considered "upstream.". Right ?
No, "upstream" is the project supplying the source code.
"dnf info bind" gives https://www.isc.org/downloads/bind/ as the project
url.
Is 9.17 "further upstream" ?
"upstream" has nothing to do with the version.
What factors will play out by the person choosing to replace the current
version of "bind" in the Rawhide repo" with a later version ?
For rawhide, mostly just does it work and does it break anything else.
Will that version be latest 9.16 described in the author's email. I am
assuming that the author of the email, Mr. Menšík, is not the bind
package-manager in Fedora.
I have already deleted the original email, but my assumption is that he
*is* the maintainer for bind in Fedora.
And finally, what would happen in Fedora 32, for "bind" to get a
point-relase update ?
Successful testing in rawhide and generally no large changes between
versions.
Any helpful insights related to packaging procedures for newbies would
be of interest. I have no clue what one does to compile a or build a
package.
That is a huge topic. I don't know where to start with that. I use
"rpmbuild" for my purposes, but I've seen it mentioned that "mock" is
the recommended way to build. Actual packages for Fedora get built in
koji. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/ There are a set of command
line utilities for managing packages and running builds.
