Maintainers wanted for packages from 2013-02-27 FESCo Meeting

[Toshio Kuratomi]

Greetings,

At today's FESCo meeting there were two tickets which had the end result
of needing to have new maintainers and comaintainers for some packages:

== https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1028 ==

tor package was reassigned to a new maintainer.  Former maintainer dropped
ownership of his other packages.  Those are now orphaned and in need of a
new owner.  Note to potential new maintainers: although not mandatory, you
may want to open an optional re-review request as the spec files for some
of these may be very out of sync with the current Fedora Packaging Guidelines

* clamav
* dhcp-forwarder
* fedora-usermgmt (epel branches still owned by ensc)
* gif2png
* hunt
* ip-sentinel
* kismet
* libextractor
* libtasn1
* milter-greylist
* mimetic
* util-vserver
* x11-ssh-askpass
* xmlrpc-c
* dietlibc (devel is still owned by ensc but maybe that was an oversight)

== https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1091 ==

Non Responsive Maintainer ticket for mediawiki.  The mediawiki package was
assigned a new maintainer due to nonresponse.  The former owner owns other
packages as well.  Fesco asks that comaintainers be solicited for these
packages.  If package maintainer is nonresponsive for more packages,
consider performing the Mass Orphaning clause of the Nonresponsive
Maintainers Policy:

I'd like to co-maintain maildrop since I use it to filter my email.

I tried to add myself to these two, but
I was facing packagedb errors 
when trying to do so and am not sure if everything was processed 
correctly. - Some packagedb admin please cross check the status.

>  * po4a -- A tool maintaining translations anywhere 
This package
already is co-maintained by me for quite a while.

No matter how far down the wrong road you've gone, turn back.

The needed firmware files for those cards were merged a long time ago into
linux-firmware git tree. It seems, however, that those patches got excluded
there:

$ rpm -q linux-firmware -l|grep v4l
/lib/firmware/v4l-cx231xx-avcore-01.fw
/lib/firmware/v4l-cx23885-avcore-01.fw
/lib/firmware/v4l-cx23885-enc.fw

IMO, the best thing to do here is to just drop this package and make sure
that the needed firmwares are provided by linux-firmware:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 v4l v4l   16382 Ago 10  2012 v4l-cx231xx-avcore-01.fw
-rw-rw-r-- 1 v4l v4l  141200 Ago 10  2012 v4l-cx23418-apu.fw
-rw-rw-r-- 1 v4l v4l  158332 Ago 10  2012 v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw
-rw-rw-r-- 1 v4l v4l   16382 Ago 10  2012 v4l-cx23418-dig.fw
-rw-rw-r-- 1 v4l v4l   16382 Ago 10  2012 v4l-cx23885-avcore-01.fw
-rw-rw-r-- 1 v4l v4l   16382 Ago 10  2012 v4l-cx25840.fw

Btw, it should be noticed that cx231xx/cx23885 devices require a
firmware there (v4l-cx23885-enc.fw). This firmware is wrong at
linux-firmware tree, and got removed by a recent changeset
(c11f374, at linux-firmware git tree). We're working with Conexant in 
order to replace it soon with a new firmware for it.

>  * ivtv-utils -- Tools for the iTVC15/16 and CX23415/16 driver 
AFAIKT, this is legacy stuff. Everything needed on userspace for ivtv is
now provided by v4l-utils package.

Hi all!

I'll be happy to help with vtk and vtkdata, if at any time needed.

Best,

Mario
