Abandoned packages (mediawiki-openid and php-pear-Auth-OpenID-2.1.1)

[Kurt Seifried]

So I've followed the process at

As per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers

With zero response from anyone so far (nothing from the maintainer,
nothing from anyone who might know how to contact the
maintainer/etc.).

So how do I go about this part of the process then:

    * If at least one FESco member approves the takeover, and no one
objects within 3 days, you may take over the package.
