"The other guy"? If you're talking about the person who reported the change
and asked to get php-eaccelerator packaged, well, he also contacted me in
private asking if I'd consider packaging it on freshrpms.net too. His spec
file is based on my php-mmcache one, with very recent SuSE-compatibility
defacing he accepted from someone else, that we most certainly don't want.
I think he became the "rpm packager" for their project "by default" more
than anything else (not that I mean anything negative by that, and it's
just my impression).

...but that's not counting all of those packages that I'd like to reclaim
maintainership of! ;-)

Why not. But there is no reason to kick it out immediately, but surely in
the not-so-distant future since mmcache isn't PHP5 compatible, whereas
eaccelerator is.
