Despite I'm updating the package, and will try to keep it up to date
whenever possible I sadly don't have much time to give the package love
it deserves and would be very thankful if someone else could take of it.

Are there any issues that prevent the package (and possibly others) from
being commitable to by any RPM Fusion commiter? (I thought there was one
other co-maintainer for vbox there, possibly not enough.) This could fix
a barrier that prevents others from doing a fix if the maintainer is
irresponsi(ve|ble).
