Yes.

That is correct. Start by writing your name on the packages you claim
on that page. Then ask Xavier for CVS access.

If the package was in both Livna and Freshrpms you should merge them.
That is take features from both (where possible) and provide a clean
upgrade path from both.
Moreover, you should normally provide the latest version upstream has
released. Rules are the same that you find in Fedora for updates.

Fuse-emulator-roms has already been taken.
You can get nes_ntsc and the other *_ntsc's, if you want :)
