I would be interested in creating an el-6 branch right now also.
But because anything above ffmpeg in F-13 is doomed because of
http://www.videolan.org/security/sa1003.html
I would branch some packages from F-13 tree. (and vlc from F-14).

That been said most packages should be branched from F-12, so the question is:
How much of the current RPM Fusion packages maintainer do want to
support their package in EL-6 also ?
(so that we can eventually automatically branch packages from F-12)

ps: that been said, I cannot expect anything in el-? branches before
we solve two questions:
How to move to our own hosted koji build server infra ?
how to deal with kernel module in the EL world (where a stable kABI is
the rule).
