+
+Well we have always interest in open source projects. BTW Mageia
+packagers team is for now quite small and focused in building first
+stable version which means importing and working on needed packages to
+be imported.
+
+We are already lacking mentors among official packagers.
+
+So I guess rpm5 is not for now a priority given the size of pending
+todo list. Also If we do have a look on it, we will for better have a
+team on it rather than one guy to avoid single point of failure.
+
+Cheers
