Hello fellow Fedorans. With this email I'm trying to contact David Zeuthen. There is a bug [1] filed for Festival speech synthesis which is open for almost four years now (besides a few others, but the particular one is bothering me). I once had checked in a fix into CVS in 2008 or so, which was overwritten (seems to have happened accidentally when synchronizing branches). I have filed the patch again, asked for commit permission to apply it myself, and contacted David at his Red Hat email address. I did not get any reply on any of these channels. I have seen Hedayat's email from last October, asking a similar question. It seems this did not go very far. I have tried to find him on IRC, but couldn't. The last email I saw to fedora-devel by him I saw in my mailbox is from November 2009. The Festival package is in bad shape, libraries linking against it (rather than calling the command line tool) can't because headers are in the wrong place. There are also several newer upstream releases which haven't made it into Fedora. Then there are 17 (!) maintainers for the package, but only David has approveacls permission and no one has replied to the bug report recently. Is David still around? Does anybody know how to contact him and how to resolve the issues surrounding Festival?
