Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place to request this, but I can't find specific info.

For some of the virt packages in fedora, we have a virtual account 'virtmaint' that is the package owner. See ipxe, qemu, and a similar situation for the libvirt package

There are a few other packages that are closely tied to virt, largely maintained by RH virt team, that could use a similar treatment:

seabios
sgabios
gpxe
vgabios

This is a fine place for this request... we can get things fixed up.

We can make 'virtmaint' the owner of those 4 packages in all fedora branches, but who do you want to be comaintainer on them?

Currently they are:

{{{

Collection|Package|Description|Owner|Initial QA|Initial CCList

Fedora|seabios|Open-source legacy BIOS implementation|jforbes||bonzini,virtmaint
Fedora|sgabios|Open-source serial graphics BIOS option rom|jforbes||
Fedora|gpxe|A network boot loader|jforbes||berrange,glommer,jforbes
Fedora EPEL|gpxe|A network boot loader|jforbes||glommer
Fedora|vgabios|LGPL implementation of a vga video bios|kraxel||jforbes,kraxel,virtmaint
}}}

Let me know exactly who you want as co-maintainers and we can get it done.

Also Adding jforbes and kraxel here for comment, since they currently 'own' these packages.

As of just recently I have commit and approveacl on those 3 packages for fedora. Does that count as comaintainership or do I need watchcommit + watchbugzilla as well?

gpxe for epel shouldn't have owner changed to virtmaint tho, just the fedora versions please.

you don't have to have those if you don't want/need them. :)

ok. Done.

Please look and confirm all of them are set as you would like. Feel free to re-open this if you need any further action.
