I'm guessing Inkscape would be a difficult package for your first one to learn on? 
If anybody thought this was a reasonable goal, I think I'd be happy to learn and
maintain it...

And if so, if somebody could point me in the direction of some resources that would be
cool :D

I'll stay on as maintainer (or co-maintainer) at least until after the 
0.46 release, unless someone wants to take it over now. After 0.46 I'll 
orphan it. People interested in helping should be familiar with C++, and 
be ok with creating an account on launchpad :-)

Nicu, here's a SRPM from the latest svn snapshot. You'll need to compile 
this patched poppler RPM as well 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=403211) :
