Putting Flumotion into Fedora 4

Hi everyone,
I would like to propose putting Flumotion into Fedora 4.

Flumotion is for those who doesn't know it a Streaming Media server
with a GTK+ configuration and administration interface available under
the GPL license. It uses GStreamer and Twisted as its underlaying
libraries. Its designed for running on Linux with support for input from
webcams, tvcards, soundcards and Firewire devices under Linux. Homepage
to be found on http://www.flumotion.net

I had originally planed on waiting with this proposal a little to let
the server mature and grow more popularity first, but problems with
how Fedora works made me think that proposing it sooner would be an idea
to give distro developer more time to figure out how to solve the issues
needing solving to make Flumotion run smoothly on Fedora.

In the bug report linked below I have outlined the problems with making
Flumotion run nicely on Fedora today, but as you also will see from the
Bug report Bill Nothingham basically says fixing these issues will not
happen before Flumotion ships with Fedora: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=140853

The group proposal from that bugzilla is how Debian and Mandrake solves
the problem and the packages for these platforms already implements it.

So I would like to get some Feedback from Fedora developers on this
proposal and what I/we can do to help make this happen.
Christian
