enlightenment project seeks package maintainer!

[Raphael Groner]

Hi,

I would like to take ownership of the enlightenment package. But I am
not a packager yet, still waiting for a sponsor. Please see my review
request for pyxfce ...

In Bugzilla, there seems not to be any review request entry from the
past about the enlightenment package that has stopped to be maintained
since Fedora 14 and upwards. Does anybody know more?

I've done some testing with ArchLinux and their official e17-svn
package. The desktop looks really awesome and I see an opportunity to
have an E17 spin of Fedora in the far future, maybe.

Greetings,
Raphael
