Christian, many thanks for these reports. I like then a lot. 

Some suggestions for improvements:

Could you sort this and maybe some of the other lists by the owner and
not by package name? This way each and every packager has to go through
the whole list a look out for his packages. When it is sorted by owner
you just have to search for your own email address -- that's a lot
easier.

You probably should add the domains somehow -- there are at least two
people (I'm one of them) that use fedora at my.domain.foo. I would suggest
fedora[AT]leemhuis[DOT]info, fedora at leemhuis, fedora-leemhuis_info or
something like that.

And another thing: How to I get a package out of the list in case it is
stuck due to legal problems or other well known things?

Well, at least firefox and thunderbird (probably many more) were moved
to core long time ago -- do we really need them in this list? Then it
will grow endlessly over time.

This one is a great idea! Maybe is should be placed somewhere more
prominent...
