Currently, this is a later step rather than a first step.  The
conversion of owners.list has immediate application to the new
buildsystem and other infrastructure that we want to have ready for FC7
so it's getting priority.

If someone wants to code some proof of concept around this it's welcome,
though.  It doesn't even have to be integrated into the main packagedb
testing as the information can be merged at a later date.
