and especially people that manage that hardware, as hardware itself is 
not the problematic factor right now afaics (I'll try to outline this

IOW: Those areas really need improvement as well. I'm actually willing 
to work in those areas, but I simply didn't found enough time for it and 
nobody else stepped up to do it afaics.

Correct.

Don't think so that being present on IRC to know what happens is a 
problem in RPM Fusion. Sure, a few problems get discussed on IRC now and 
then, but that fine and all the important stuff goes via the list afaics.

Well, a lot of things are simply "undefined" afaics. And I guess that's 
one of the biggest problems in general.

Actually even I don't know much about it. All I'm aware of is

- the general idea to mirror the Fedora infra as much as possible as 
well as some packagers asking for "koji for RPM Fusion" as they are used 
to the features (like scratch builds) from Fedora

- a few messages from Xavier (some of them in private) that indicated 
that Xavier has looked into/considered setting up koji for RPM Fusion
