Rex, I think you do not understand what I am saying ... I am willing to
develop/maintain packages inside ONE repository (RPMForge). I am not saying
to dump them here and leave. I am trying to explain why I cannot do this in
two separate projects (Fedora main repo and RPMFusion repo) - I have no
time for both!
I have never said I am not going to maintain packages here (if they are
accepted, naturally)
Sorry, the whole existence of RPM Fusion revolves around it's relation to
Fedora. We will reject packages that should be in Fedora. However, if you're
willing to answer questions when problems arise, maybe someone would be
willing to be a stand-in maintainer in Fedora once you've created packages? I
don't see how having to have two bugzilla accounts is any more work than one,
but if you package stuff that is useful and not in Fedora I don't see why
someone else can't submit it for review and maintain it.
