Is that because the address is no longer valid, or because he's not interested in maintaining the package? > Perhaps you'd like to have your name there and become the official > packager? I would be happy enough to do that, but I don't have a huge amount of time to dedicate to it. We'd better ask the mailing list. Does anyone have any objections, or would anyone else like to volunteer to become to packager, either for Red Hat/Fedora or for another distro?
