Orphaning some packages (brasero, transmission and more)

[Denis Leroy]

In an effort to focus more on FOSS upstream development, I am going to 
be orphaning some of my Fedora packages in the near future, starting 
with this first batch.

brasero (high-maintenance)
transmission
k3d (fairly complex project, and it's actually a Gnome app)
soundconverter
gpredict
grig
gstreamer-python (used by soundconverter, pitivi)
hamlib
plotutils (inactive upstream, but used by inkscape)
pstoedit (inactive upstream, but used by inkscape)
dates (inactive upstream)
ghasher (dead upstream)
gimmage (inactive upstream)
pam_keyring (should stay orphaned actually)

I'm interested in taking over your hamradio related packages.

Wait... didn't we just make this the default CD/DVD buring application in
the Fedora spin?

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Gnome2_26

And now it's orphaned?

Yep. Bad timing. Somebody should pick it up.

Xavier Lamien said he'd pick it up, which I assume he'll do after Denis

orphans it in pkgdb.

I merely want to transfer ownership to somebody new. Matthias Clasen and 
Bastien Nocera are already acting co-maintainers, and so I'm waiting to 
hear from them before transferring ownership, in case one of them has a 
strong desire to take over the package...

I don't have a strong desire to own any package... but if nobody else
picks it up, I will find an owner for it.

I've released ownership. Xavier is the new owner.
