The Fedora Infrastructure team recently sent out an announce mail to  
let people know they could use a couple of extra hands. Already a  
couple of people mailed that team and said they could help out. Maybe  
Fedora Legacy should send out such an email?

I'm sorry, but I can't help you guys out here. I'm also migrating all  
our servers to CentOS. I use Fedora for my desktop system, but I just  
run the most recent release on that (no Fedora Legacy there).
