Hi,
I am the epel7 maintainer for html2text and I am doing my best to
un-orphan and be the epel6 maintainer as well.

I've been following [1], which is in desperate need of updating, or
doesn't apply to epel packages.  (It would be nice if there was a "Take
Ownership" button like it says in the directions, or even if it allowed
you to request commit access if you already have commit access to a
different part of the package ... but I digress)

Anyway, I've managed to get commit access and own the package, but it is
now blocked from being built.

Can someone please unblock the el6 branch of html2text.

Thank You
Troy Dawson
