...I guess I'm a little confused here.  The bug reports mentions nothing 
about a working version for FC5, only that a working version of 1.2.1 is 
in FEdevel and the requestor would like to see that update backported 
for FC5, which I did.  Granted, I also did some general housekeeping 
while I was in there, like consistent macro usage and the new PHP Macros 
approved by the Packaging Committe.  I wasn't trying to be misleading by 
putting "New Maintainer" in the changelog, I just wanted to highlight 
the fact that I was a different guy from the previous maintainer.  Are 
these what you are referring to by "changes that differ"?  I haven't 
made any changes to the devel branch, although I was considering 
applying the same PHP housekeeping.  I'll put everything on hold until 
this gets explored a little further.

Which is why I asked if we were ready for the takeover process, rather 
than assuming so.  When somebody suggested that we start taking bug 
reports, I though that might mean we had jumped to the package takeover, 
so I asked for clarification.

That was my problem, I joined "fedorabugs" instead of "fedora_bugs".  
Now when I try to join fedora_bugs I get a Python AttributeError in 
get_allowed_group_actions().

No sweat :)
