Same thing as what happened to Vera. The various people wanting to
make the fonts evolve need to agree on a new FLOSS upstream like it
happened to DejaVu. IMHO we should not package all the MGOpen
derivatives before a clear new upstream emerges.

Already done but now the packages await review (half of them at least).

If you know tex please do Computer Modern Unicode - he's stuck waiting
for someone that understands tex to write a specfile that allows
building it from Fedora TEX in Fedora fontforge.

As I already answered bitmap and core X11 fonts users : the wiki is
open for new guidelines, as long as they respect our general packaging
policy
