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
