As mentioned on IRC: We iirc allow packages that got removed from Fedora to enter RPM Fusion without additional review. If my memory serves me correct (e.g. if nobody yells over the next 2 days) then file a CVS reqeuest for gnome-do and gnome-do-plugins and apply for membership in FAS. You'll find details how to do that on http://rpmfusion.org/Contributors
