Mikmod has obsoleted the old tracker for a *long time*. If you like the 
old tracker, feel free to package it up and maintain in Fedora. It

Pine might not currently be in the formal Fedora repository but folks do 
use it. So your argument makes no sense to me. Also tracker is not a 
database. It uses one though. Read the links in more detail.

Lots of different packages get to have the same name. We deal with that 
constantly in Fedora repositories. So learn to live with it.
