+Hi Josh,
+
+Your help would be very welcome.
+There is a list of package that have no maintainer at:
+http://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/data/unmaintained.txt
+
+If you wish to become a packager, we have a very successful apprenticeship
+program: just follow the instructions at
+http://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager
+
+and come join us at #mageia-mentoring on freenode.

+Cheers,
