+I volunteer to maintain cinnamon.  I've already ported it from fedora.  I
+did
+it because no one told me not to do it.

+
+There's this thing about not pushing away resources that are being
+volunteered.
+
+I've packaged cinnamon because I want to install it on my own machine. I
+spent
+10-12 hours a day taking orders from my boss, and working on community
+projects
+is the way that I relax.  If you want to use my work then that's great.  If
+it turns out
+that the X hours that I put into making cinnamon work on mageia is a waste,
+then
+I'll wipe mageia and install fedora or ubuntu or scientific linux or mint.
+
+I have very little tolerance for politics or long winded discussions or
+strategy
+discussion.  I get enough of that in my day job.  I've just packaged
+cinnamon and
+nemo.  If someone says thank you, provides some suggestions for fixing
+things,
+and then takes it, I'll be happy.  If not, then I'll wipe my disk and work
+on another distro.
+
+So what do you want me to do?
