Someone with the time and interest in maintaining the package _in_fedora_ has 
to package it per our packaging guideline as a binary RPM rather than a source 
tarball, provide regular updates, and be willing to investigate/fix bugs, as 
well as stay in regular contact with upstream developrs. It's definitely not 
for the feint of heart, especially if you aren't actually interested in using 
a package such as this, as it seems all of our current package maintainers 
are. If you are interested in seeing this package in Fedora, I encourage you 
to look at joining the Package maintainer group.
