I'll build a bcache-tools RPM and a dm-cache-utils rpm (actually bcache-tools is already available here: bcache-tools-20130820-0.1.fc19.src.rpm).

I'll follow the procedure as described here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers

Tried to create a dmcache-utils package as well (Bug 1000078) but it doesn't look really useful. So I'll focus on bcache-tools first. For that I still need a sponsor.

I closed Bug 1000078 since good userland support requires LVM2 to support dm-cache. Which will happen 'in the future', but F20 doesn't look feasible to me.

Create Bug 1003207 (bcache support for dracut) which is not blocking for F20, but probably will be blocking for F21.

Create Bug 1003208 (bcache support for anaconda) which is not blocking for F20, but probably will be blocking for F21.
