Has been taken over by Rex Dieter already according to the Wiki.

Due lack of formal process:

Where the following list of component owners,

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/describecomponents.cgi?product=Fedora%20Extras

lists the e-mail address " extras-orphan AT fedoraproject.org ", just
report back, state your bugzilla account e-mail address, and you can
become the new owner.

For "potentially orphaned packages", to be fair, try to contact the listed
owner one last time, then after maybe 1-2 weeks feel free to report back
and request ownership.


cpan2rpm, john : orphaned

librsync, rdiff-backup : are on the list because the owner, who has been
involved upstream at librsync and is the upstream author for rdiff-backup,
has not updated the rpms for a very long time and has not commented on
bugzilla activity either.
