This is entirely unclear to anyone sitting outside the Red Hat
fenceline. I have no idea if the people who maintain something inside
Core will continue to be required to maintain or volunteer to maintain
the package as part of Extras. I fully expect some packages will have
to change maintainers as part of moving to Extras.
I currently own 'gv', and I don't particularly want to maintain it outside
of Fedora Core. Somebody who knows, likes, and uses gv would be a much
better person for the job, since I also own a bunch of other packages,
some quite large (
openoffice.org). If some other person was able to focus
their time on gv, I think that would be a win for users of the package.
This however is my opinion, and isn't necessarily indicative of how
changes to the gv package will play out.
