As much sense as this procedure may make in _some_ cases, it has been a
failure for other packagers before. They emerge only to end the procedure
and hide again afterwards (only a matter of days/weeks/months) without
taking care of the packages.

 * Last upstream release is from 2007 and the same as offered by Fedora.

 * Package has not been worked on since the showstopper bug report for F10.

 * Upstream is seeking for a new maintainer since 2011.

I don't want to take over the package either, so it simply doesn't make
sense to start a tedious procedure, which could be started for other
similarly non-responsive packagers, too. Someone hides, and others take
a lot of effort to get rid of the crap.

Just like packagers, who acquire ownership of multiple hundred packages,
this is one of the non-shiny sides of Fedora, unfortunately.
