Actually (I need to write a blog post about this and let the world) Sept
1st I've started working for RH on the installer team, so I will be
having and using RHEL on my machines from now on and thus I could try (I
say try for time reasons) to maintain my packages for EPEL too, for now
please continue importing them. I think it would be good for me to still
be in the loop for the gstreamer packages, gstreamer packages are nasty
because newer upstream gstreamer-foo packages often require a newer base
gstreamer then we have in Fedora / EPEL, this is for example why I have
different gstreamer-foo versions in F-8 then in F-9 / devel.

As for the owner ship, many of the listed packages are not much use on
EPEL, so they shouldn't be done on EPEL at all I think, shall we
co-maintain the ones which are usefull?
