Also I would like to know how to get the name of a mandriva packager from its 
mandriva nickname? (in order to make the proper attribution of the imported 
.spec file.)

I have also noticed that several Mageia packagers don't do any proper 
attribution to the original authors of the spec files when importing. Is it 
considered optional ? because when I was a Mandriva packager, when I was 
importing Fedora spec files and debian patches I have been asked by them to 
make this proper attribution when importing. Why is it considered optional 
when it comes from Mandriva ?
