Yes, but the upstream maintainer is working on becoming a Fedora contributor and would like to be the maintainer of the Fedora package for this library. At that point, any distinction between upstream and Fedora is moot.
Unless there's some legal issue with the CLA or something like that, why not have the upstream author contribute here directly and get sponsored and such as part of getting this package in?
Because I'm waiting on this package (and a few others) before I can build updated openmpi packages that support Infiniband. I suspect if I waited for the upstream people to do the whole process themselves, it would be next year before it got done. If I get it done, then I can do what needs done until they've completed the process. Even if they *never* complete the process, it's easier for me to handle the individual packages than it is the big openib package that's in RHEL. So getting them in here so I can import them into RHEL is a benefit to me.
In any case, I think this package is close to being done. Just give a link to an updated srpm and I'll take a look.
I didn't make any changes other than to add a changelog ;-) But, they are on the same place that they were before:

There is an updated src.rpm from 20070703, and the spec files have been updated.
