There are several of us still around.  Bjorn has been working on the 
packages and chimed in earlier.
We'd really like to get 5.6 into Fedora as it's been GA for 6 months 
now.  Also, we just released workbench 6.0 and we would love to get that 
and our latest connectors in as well.
For that, it would be made much easier with a different namespace for 
mysql and each of the forks (esp. the client libraries)
I know a lot of the current communications about the packages is going 
on in the background, but when issues come up, either bring it up here 
or contact us directly.  We are seriously interested in helping out 
where we can.
