I'm happy to help out co-maintaining things (e.g. for EL) as there isn't 
actually anything that I'm particularly interested in that's not already 
in rpmfusion. I was going to submit an xv package originally but I think 
from the wiki that there's already one there. I did struggle to find a 
comprehensive list of what's available though - is there a repoview 
somewhere? If there is, I think it would be worth adding a link to it 
from the wiki somewhere that casual browsers might find it.

As I couldn't find one quickly, I thought of trying to check out modules 
from cvs. As I'm a sponsor in Fedora I thought I may not need separately 
sponsoring for rpmfusion (the wiki isn't clear on this I think), which 
is evidently not the case.

Paul.
