Actually, I've had two say no.  They were just about to retire the
packages from Fedora.  They explained their reasons why, and I'm
currently working on getting those dependencies out of my packages
that required them.

Honestly, I don't want more packages to maintain, I just want the
functionalities.  I'm being overly nice hoping that someone else will
maintain them.  But ... since I want the functionality, and I have the
skillset, I'm willing to maintain them.

Well that's a little different of a situation... You could still maintain them in EPEL if you wanted to though, but like you I'm trying not to pick up more packages. 

Thanks,
Richard
