Hello, Matthias:

Unfortunately currently ruby-gnome2 is orphaned on all branches (see:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/ruby-gnome2 )

Well, I am also a maintainer who has some packages which depends on
ruby-gnome2 (one package _heavily_ depends on ruby-gnome2...), and
as I have already done some commits on Fedora ruby-gnome2, I want
to _co_maintain ruby-gnome2. However I want another primary maintainer
for ruby-gnome2 as I already maintain many packages...

Mattias, would you want to maintain ruby-gnome2? (unfortunately it
seems you have more packages than me...)

Sorry for typo...

Well, I'd rather not become the maintainer of a package which I nearly don't use, but if there's no other solution, then why not. I would at least first check that upstream is alive and responsive, as otherwise we would be much better off with someone more familiar with ruby than I am.

Maybe I would ask for new (primary) maintainer for ruby-gnome2
on fedora-devel-list?

Switching to new maintainer.

Itamar, would you like to maintain ruby-gnome2 also on
EPEL? If not, I guess Matthias will maintain this on EPEL.

ok, for me is the best option.

is  the time to request cvs for EPEL?

I guess Matthias will comment on this bug again.

I've never done this before (become owner of just some branches), but I think that all is needed is to request the branches to be created in the original review bugzilla entry (that would be bug #232160), but asking to have "thias" be the owner. I'll do that now.

Now this bug is closed.
