That would be a very nice way to solve the situation.

I am done with my work for the spec files, as i got them all done, 
polished up and shiney waiting for adoption.

(hint: if anyone wants to preempt this policicy, send me an email for 
which module you need a new spec).

Also, if anyone could set me up with a CVS account so i can commit the 
desired fixes (read: where the maintainer allows changes to the .spec 
files) that would help out a lot.

If required, you can also add me as maintainer for the packaging 
subcomponent for your module.

Hope we get this done before gnome2 final ;-)
