A lot of Ignacio's packages found a new owner in the past week and most
of the new maintainers are listed in owners.list already. I just updated
the list in the wiki slightly and removed the packages where the new
maintainer forgot to update it after updateing owners.list (*1). Here
are those listed that are still in the wiki:

Guys, please start the takeover process soon! tia!

PeterGordon added this:
>  ||gnome-applet-rhythmbox||2006-08-28, This package should me marked dead (renamed to gnome-applet-music by upstream since it supports more than just Rhythmbox). --PeterGordon||
>  ||gnome-theme-clearlooks||This should probably be marked dead too, as it was only for FC-3 and is now integrated with the gtk2-engines package. --PeterGordon||
Peter (or someone else interested), could you mark them as dead in cvs
but nevertheless take over in owners.list in case bugs get filed against
this old crud?

No new maintainers in sight for these yet:

According to command (*2)

lock-keys-applet mimetex pyparsing python-amara python-cpio
python-HTMLgen repoml; do echo ${i}; repoquery -q --whatrequires

some of them are required by other pacakges:

repoml

I suggest we remove them from the repo (after an additional warning
later this week) shortly after Sunday, September 10, 23:59 UTC -- that
leaves round about a month before FC6 for the maintainers of the other
packages to fix up the dependency chain.

(*1) Site note: guys, next time when you update owners.list to take over
a orphaned package *please* remove it also from the wiki page! tia! I
had to do some manual and annoying cleanup there before I could start
working on this mail. See
http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/OrphanedPackages?action=diff&rev2=348&rev1=347


(*2) Is there a better/easier way to do that? Is this way actually correct?
