FC3 has entered maintainence mode with the release of FC5test2.
There is no policy for Fedora Extras that requires maintainers to
supply packages for Core releases that have entered maintainence mode.
 If the original maintainer doesn't want the burden of keeping FC3
updated now that its in maintainence mode, another maintainer may need
to express interest in supplying those updates.
