Looking at
src.fp.org, this is the only package that's associated with
this maintainer.
So I think in this case you can safely initiate the "Nonresponsive
Maintainer" process ...

I wish I had the time to pursue this as I've been wanting to get more
involved in Fedora packaging (as opposed to the gobs of
private/corporate packaging I've been doing) for years. I finally got
around to getting sponsored and since then my life has become a complete
turmoil. Sadly, this looks just about my speed if I did have the time.
Nonetheless, shouldn't this have been culled for FBTFS?
