bangarang at risk of being retired

[Rex Dieter]

Due to lack of current maintainer, a nice multimedia app, bangarang, is 
at risk of being retired from fedora (and won't be included in 
subsequent releases).

I'd encourage any current fedora contributor/packager to consider 
becoming it's maintainer.  As a matter of fact, even if you aren't a 
current contributor, I would consider sponsoring you if you want to get 
started dabbling in contributing by maintaining this relatively simple 
package.

I really like bangarang, infact I wouldn't mind getting more involved if 
someone showed me the rope.

once I'v done something a couple of times I should be able to fly solo

If you wouldn't mind sponsoring me, I would love to take on bangarang and 
basket, which is also set to be removed.  I would really hate to see either 
of them go.

I have taken a look at their spec files and I think can handle the RPM side 
of things just fine.  I just need to brush up on Fedora's policies and learn 
how to deal with koji, bodhi, et al.

You can scratch koji off that list, at least.  I was looking over the 
packaging documentation in the wiki and discovered that anyone can do 
scratch builds, so I tested it out by building bangarang's current git:
