I don't push the latest upstream releases to all maintained Fedora
releases. This is following the update policy at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy
Having said that, if you have done a update for the Fedora 14 branch,
put up a updated spec file or a patch somewhere and I will review the
change.

There isn't a specific group for co-maintainers. All package
maintainers are in the same group. Packages in Fedora have a primary
maintainer who is directly responsible for maintenance and
co-maintainers (can be more than one) help out.
