Initial setup of the repoHEADmasterf23	Fedora Release Engineering	2015-03-11	2	-0/+0

Looks like a new package request. Five months old without any activity
from the maintainer in the master and f23 branches. But a package has been
imported into the el6 branch.

It smells like grey area. Could it be a package for EL6 only?
What to do with the Rawhide master branch then? Perhaps it's not obvious
whether to mark it dead in that case.

Here's the review's SCM Request:

Branches: el6

Voila! The process instructions don't give a hint what to do with the implicitly
created master/devel branch: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_SCM_admin_requests
