Excellent! Having good relationship with our upstreams is invaluable
and - as you probably know - part of our core values.

Great, I'll take a look. Could you do some non-binding reviews
of other packages awaiting reviews in the meantime? Two should
be enough.

Done.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1398004
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1398690

I just put in the commented & adapted output of "fedora-review" (as per
the Review Guidelines etc.) as a comment to the respective bugs, since
I can't really do anything else (yet).

Excellent, we have a number of chemistry-related packages in Fedora
already, as well as quite a few maintainers in this area. You're welcome
to join the SciTech SIG:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:SciTech_SIG


I'll have a look when I have some spare time on my hands!

Cool!
