On
http://rpmfusion.org/InitialPackageMerge, seems the following haven't
been claimed:

I put a [+] next to packages I'm interested in maintaining. As a fedora
sponsored maintainer, but having no completed reviews in rpmfusion, am I
eligible to claim ?
I saw Andrea as responded, but I'll add my 2 cents: Yes you are and welcome to
our little Fedora sub-community!
If yes, then I'll start with mpgtx and normalize - and put my
name in
the above web page. I'm just not sure whether I'm going about it the
correct way ?
Yes, sortof, as we've actually begun populating CVS that page is becoming
outdated soon. Just drop a mail to the list which packages you want to take and
ask for their CVS modules to be created and you to be added to the ACL for
them. Also note in that mail which mail address you will be using (we're using
pre core/extras merger owner.list style).
Also create a FAS account in rpmfusion's fas:
https://fas.rpmfusion.org/accounts
For example, should I import the existing livna-devel package {ie a
known entity}, or check to see whether upstream has newer releases, and
work to get the newer package going ?
I think its good to be able to see what has changed, so import either the
latest livna or freshrpms version depending on which you want to use as a base,
and then make changes from there (no need to build that imported version).
I can also add entries for the other ex dribble packages if that
would
be useful {and I'm interested in nes_ntsc & fuse-emulator-roms } ?
Yes that would be very usefull, ideally nothing gets dropped in the whole
drblle/livna/freshrpms -> rpmfusion merger.
Thanks & Regards,
Hans
p.s.
The webpage you refered is a bit out of date, I've already clamed and imported
(and merged with freshrpms) mjpegtools as I need that as a dep for
gstreamer-plugins-bad, but you're very welcome to co-maintain!
