On the contrary, I am happy to have them there if you keep them up-to-date.

I can imagine that there might be problems because there is more than one
RPM-based distro, and maybe the spec file can only be suitable for one
distro, but nobody has ever complained about that so far.

There are some gtkmm spec files in bugzilla - could you take a look,
please: I'd like to completely delegate maintainance of spec files.

OK, so whoever maintains the Fedora RPMs will maintain the spec files in
cvs. And whenever someone enters a bug about the spec files in cvs, I'll
assign it to him, and ignore it myself.
