1. Impro-Visor is hand-built by its main developer using NetBeans. I'm on their mailing list (Yahoo groups) and I'll ask what's required to get an automated build process. It's a Java app, and it seems to work just fine with OpenJDK, unlike other Java apps, but I don't know if that applies to building it. Making a source RPM and build process for Impro-Visor looks like a fair amount of work, and I'm not a Java build expert. The source is a ZIP file with no build structure (ant, maven, etc.) at all, just Java code and other text files.
That would be great. If there was an easy way to make it build, it would be really easy to package it
2. IanniX is a Qt app - the "standard" way to build it is to open the supplied project file with Qt Creator and press the "build" button. I'm pretty sure there's an easy CMake process for building it, but I haven't tried anything except the Qt Creator process, which worked but threw a bunch of warnings.
I was able to do it from within Qt Creator, but that doesn't really help when packaging :p I tried using qmake, but no luck. Usually I'm lost compiling apps unless it's with GNU make ar as a python setup script so I'm not the best person to be trying this

3. athenaCL is another package I'm interested in having. It's Python; again, I'm not a Python build expert but it looks straightforward to package.
Python apps are fairly straight forward, shouldn't be a problem to package
4. I managed to get abrt to deal with one of the crashes (in LASH) and it turns out this one is already in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843085. I suspect the other ones are as well.
