+I'm just saying how i see it, please don't take offense, i don't mean this in 
+any personal way:
+
+ - login by binding from ldap (possibly some kind of SSO later)
+ - maintainers list should come from ldap (an ldap filter on the packager 
+group)
+ - packages should come from hdlist or something
+ - list of packages without maintainer
+ - (possibly list of maintainer without packages)
+ - mageia has core/tainted/non-free (not main/contrib)
+ - don't know what compiled packages is doing there? afaik this is only 
+usefull for source packages
+ - link to bugs for each package
+ - if logged in, possibility to grab/drop (co-)maintainership (possibly co-
+maintainership)
+ - possibility to drop all self owned packages, or some kind of checkbox 
+operation
+ - possibility to drop all owned packages for a user, if you're a package team 
+leader
+ - editing should then be irrelevant, (unless multiple maintainers)
+ - (maybe it would be a good idea to put maintainership in ldap? or not?)
+
+
+possibly not all features are required at the start, but imho there is still a 
+huge amount of work to be done.
