BTW, for those that are not much interested in EL but would like to see
their packages in "RPM Fusion for EL&EPEL 5" I'm heary volunteering to
be per-release-maintainer for such packages in the EL-branch as long as

* there is a owner ("primary maintainer") for the Fedora branch of
rpmfusion that for the foreseeable future takes care of the package

* the package does not contain a kernel module or depends on a package
with a kernel module (that might change later)

* the Fedora-branch maintainer promises to drop me a line or open a bug
if a new Fedora package or upstream version gets released with a
security relevant bugfix

* the Fedora-branch maintainer handles bugs reported against EPEL if the
bug is also in the package of the Fedora-branch

All the other stuff (building, adjustments for EL, get BRs into EPEL)
I'll try to take care of over the next months (help appreciated).
