Unfortunately, I have neither the time, nor expertise to partake in such a
project.

Since Mr. Hughes had already gotten earlier versions of chromium to build
under CentOS 6 (c.f. http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/chromium/6/), and he
indicated it was merely a matter of getting RHEL to give permission for him
to redistribute it more "formally" to the community, I was hoping progress
had been made with that.

Have you, as the CentOS project lead ever asked RedHat if they can make
their version of Chromium for CentOS 6 available for us? If not, can you
please?

Since this seems to come up periodically, there is a demand for it out
there.
