Hi Chris,

I took ownership of ConsoleKit because I saw what a disaster it would
be to retire/block it when Lennart wanted to. I didnt realize so many
other things required. By all means add yourself as co maintainer and
lets work together to get this resolved.

For all I care the package can live until Fedora 30.

Dan
