There are various WONTFIX and EOL issues tracked in bugzilla. Bringing
back the package without going through those tickets first doesn't sound
like a good idea.
Agreed. Not only did I get quite regular abrt reports for both recordmydesktop and gtk-recordmydesktop, I also received a good deal of flak from people who had the (quite reasonable, IMO) expectation that it would work on our default windowing system... So I suppose you take ownership of it at your own peril.
