I am quite sure gc will take offers for someone to maintain rpmdrake (old version). I am quite sure the rewrite of rpmdrake wasn't done to provide the 4 buttons in mcc. What I would like to do is query all packages, and be shown whether it is installed or not, not having to know if I have installed it or not. When people complain about missing software, it's currently easier to do: $ urpmq --sources 'name' to tell them it's in contrib, but then I have to fire up rpmdrake if it's not installed to see any details.
