Well, I understand it can be revived. I guess what I was really asking
was why was it orphaned? There might have been a legal reason or
something I'm not aware of.

I located the original review at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469972

Currently filed bugs against it:

Paul (Johnson): Did you want to revive/maintain the package? Or should I
or Chrisopher Olah take it over?
