Hi,
I'd like to take ownership of “maradns” package. It is a small DNS server, which I do use. I'd like to update version in Fedora to 2.0 branch and continue maintaining it. maradns was deprecated some time ago. In pkgdb I was able only to take F16 branch. What should I do to get F18, too?

If a package is marked depreciated, you need to submit it for review again. Once it passes review you get the newer branches and can ask rel-eng to unblock it.
Hope that helps,

It's been abandoned by upstream and is known to have DNS implementation issues. I'd strongly recommend you switch DNS software.

Thanks Kevin, just as I thought: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=840602

It is being maintained with minimal effort - author spends about an hour monthly. Security issues are dealt with special priority out-of-band. Last entry in development blog was over last weekend, so it is not dead.
