I maintain 62 packages, Kevin did the list.

For the 4 and 5 releases, I'll send the build requests to Kevin. For EL-6,
people have to step up and ask for branches as usual, I think. I don't think
there is even an implicit promise that a package will be available for the
next release. Maybe what is needed is a way to have the list of packages 
that are up for grabs for recent releases only, for instance all my EPEL
packages for EL-6.

For existing distribution, maybe it would be nice to have a summary page
that shows which packages are in FC-X and not in EL-Y. Problem is that 
it would also list some packages that are not in EL on purpose (for
example, for my packages, acpi, and bes for EL-4 and EL-5).
