I'd like to take this. I made my own gogoc package for Fedora 13-16, and
its predecessor freenet6 for F9-13. [1] I'll take it for epel6 & epel7
too, and perhaps bring it to epel5 as well.

I would need a mentor who can spend some time walking me through the
current package maintenance process, though. I tried rescuing a package
from the orphanage once before, and never actually produced any
deliverables beyond a scratch build.
