Hello,
I've posted recently a similar request to the main epel list and I have been
referred to this group. I'm an OpenNebula [1] developer, an we would like to
include OpenNebula in EPEL. To do so we would like to ask if there's anyone
interested in being a maintainer of the package. We (upstream OpenNebula)
would be very involved in this project, being co-maintainers. We would
provide upstream fixes, and testing.
We have a working version of a spec file that works in Fedora 14 and in RHEL
6. However I believe it can be greatly improved by someone with expertise on
RPM packaging.

Hi Jaime:
So the process that's typically found is that someone who cares enough
to start doing the work will submit a spec and RPM to bugzilla
(
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join ). If that
person isn't already a packager they'll need to be sponsored. Perhaps
someone will stand up from the message here, but generally Fedora (and
by extension, EPEL) tends to be a scratch your own itch kind of place.
As such, it's probably going to fall to you to at least start the
work.
I am not a packaging sponsor, but I can help you navigate the
packaging guidelines and handle some reviews, and perhaps help you
find a sponsor.
Let me know if I can help,
David Nalley
