I've got a somewhat strange question for FESco to look at, I would like to have 
an exception to the rule that all packages must be reviewed for the following 
set of packages:

* arm-gp2x-linux-binutils
   Cross Compiling GNU binutils targeted at arm-gp2x-linux
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=234749

* arm-gp2x-linux-kernel-headers
   Kernel headers for Cross Compiling to arm-gp2x-linux
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242203

* arm-gp2x-linux-gcc
   Cross Compiling GNU GCC targeted at arm-gp2x-linux
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242206

* arm-gp2x-linux-glibc
   Cross Compiled GNU C Library targeted at arm-gp2x-linux
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242207

* arm-gp2x-linux-SDL
   Cross Compiled SDL Library targeted at arm-gp2x-linux
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=243147

* arm-gp2x-linux-zlib
   Cross Compiled zlib Library targeted at avr
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=243254


I've been trying to find a reviewer for them for ages, but there seems to be 
no-one with both the expertise and the time to review them. You all know that 
I'm a very serious packager, and that I have near 0 bugs open against my 135+ 
packages, so I hope that you will trust me to deliver good quality even without 
a review.

Another issue I would like FESco to look at is the current somewhat grey state 
of kmod's I'm considering packaging kmod's for uvc (usb video class driver), 
lirc and islsm (prism54 softmac driver, which is in F-7, but no longer in 
rawhide). But before I invest time in these I would first like to have the 
state of kmod's cleared up. I will try to work with there resp. upstreams to 
get them in the upstream kernel, and atleast for uvc and islsm upstream merger 
is planned already.

Regards,

Hans
