I'm sorry to see you leave (*), but I understand you're decision. I'm not in
a position to pick up you're most important tasks:
   * pushes
   * kmod rebuilds

But I could maybe take over some of the packages you're orphaning. I was about
to ask for a list, but I realized I could do that myself, so for all on the list
here are Thorsten's packages in rpmfusion-free (according to owners.list):

akmods
buildsys-build-rpmfusion
kmodtool
mp3gain
rpmfusion-free-remix-kickstarts
rpmfusion-free-release
rt2860
staging-kmod
staging-kmod-addons

I'll take over mp3gain, unless there are other takers.

For rpmfusion non-free the list is:
rpmfusion-nonfree-remix-kickstarts
rpmfusion-nonfree-release

Regards,

Hans
