Requesting branch for gtkglarea2, but there's no review bug

[Richard W.M. Jones]

gtkglarea2 seems to have gone into Fedora without any visible review.
I'd like to request a branch (EL-6) for this package but I need a
review request bug to do that[1].

It appears this package was in base RHEL 5 but has been dropped in
RHEL 6.  Can I check that I'm right about this somewhere?

Rich.

Seem it is neither here:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/rhel/beta/6/x86_64/os/Packages/
nor here:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/rhel/beta/6/optional/x86_64/os/Packages/

It looks like this is a package from back in the extras days. So it was
probibly reviewed on mailing list or in fedora.us.

See that same link:

"If a review ticket does not exist or you really cannot find it, then
creating a new bug is acceptable. In this case set component to 
your package name, and version to rawhide."

So, file a bug on gtkglarea2 and ask if the fedora maintainer would
like to maintain in epel. If no answer in a week, set the cvs flag and
take ownership of the epel branch yourself. ;)

I'll just take it myself since gemi has announced his semi-retirement.
