I'm that guy. I would be nice to see eAccelerator included in fedora 
extras. I builded those packages for me to test eAccelerator, I 
contributed them to the project and I'm the person who helps them with 
building packages and things like that. I don't have much experience in 
these things. I would like to help out with this package if it's 
neccesary but it's not that I would like to maintain this. Matthias has 
done this before for mmcache and the project hasn't changed much.
The next release would be round the 10th of february.

Mandrake has removed mmcache from cooker and eaccelerator will be in 10.2 .

Thanks for including it,
