Is anyone packaging Comic Neue ?

Hi,
I would like to get a free version of Comic into Fedora.

I looked at HVD Comic Serif. [1][2] It looks like it wasn't put in
Fedora because it's readme.txt has both the Creative Commons Attribution
3.0 Unported License and a bunch of freehand "though shalt" stuff at the
beginning.
Plus, that font has not been touched since 2009 (including the
problematic readme file)
Anyway, I don't see that making it into Fedora.

So, I was thinking of packaging Comic Neue [3], which is licensed until
the SIL Open Font License.  It is being actively maintained, and I think
would be a good addition to Fedora.

And, so my question.  Is anyone packaging Comic Neue up already?
If not, I'll give it a try.
I haven't ever packaged a font, but I'm more than willing to learn.  The
templates certainly look helpful.

Thanks
Troy Dawson
