Some minutes ago I've removed my bugzilla account from the admin

Thanks, Matthias, for adding me a few years ago!
This also means I will no longer run the cron job that syncs the
owners.list files into bugzilla. Somebody else will need to take over.
It just doesn't work out any longer. owners.list is filling with invalid
email addresses again. And this time some of them are account names
instead of email addrs. My old messages about what could be done have not
resulted in any encouraging responses. Sure, I could look into needed
solutions myself and silently, but I believe in team-work and in motivating
collaboration. I also believe in people being brave enough to tell me
their opinion, even if they would only come up with a request for something
to be done as an improvement. There is no such activity at RPM Fusion.
Not limited to the bugzilla comps syncing.
I completely understand where you're coming from here. Outside of providing
what is apparently our only functional (fsvo...) builder, I've pretty much
given up myself. I simply don't have the time or energy. Because of that,
I'm also not using Fedora nearly as much as I used to -- I'm using RHEL6 for
all my MythTV systems now -- which also lowers my interest in the success of
RPM Fusion, since it has essentially zero RHEL support right now. My builder
has EL-6 targets all set up on it, but I can't do anything about anything
outside of my builder, so I'm just maintaining my own private RHEL6 add-on
repo for now. But I'm also considering opting to go back to the world of
ATrpms, much as I dislike the way a lot of it is packaged.
