Ah, ok - maybe that was it.

Right, as long as it's not putting it in /apple or something it should
be fine.

Ok, if it's stagnant then maybe not such a good  choice.

Yep, just follow the review guidelines...

Looking at http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ there's no mention of
1.5.x on the front page anyway.  Where does it get it?

steved 'Steve Dickson' <steved at redhat.com> owns libevent, you could talk
w/ him.  Starting w/ rawhide may be easier.
