Ok some work of me: i make packages for Aurora Linux (that's fedora for sparc 
basically), Red Hat Enterprise Linux and for Fedora Core 1, 2 and 3. You can 
find them on http://dries.ulyssis.org/ayo/   They should all be signed with 
my public key and my key can also be found on that site.
About fixes: i wrote quite some patches to get stuff working on aurora or the 
newer gcc of fc3 but most of them get included in programs after mailing the 
author: so most of them are gone :-)

Thanks i'm subscribed and maybe it's interesting to add this list to the page 
http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/communicate/ ?

Ok but for example: is each spec file 'owned' by 1 person who is responsible 
for that spec file? Or is the responsibility divided by version of fedora 
core or is everyone equally responsible for all spec files?  I don't expect 
you to write a complete document about the policy but maybe some lines with 
some general guidelines might be interesting for everyone on this list who 
would like to participate?
