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.
