that's 9 possible new maintainers... man, i didn't expect this post to
be so successful! \o/


now, how can we move on?
- mandriva.com people, are you ok with giving those people contributors
  account? 
- cooker chefs, i think you talked about new packagers, esp. about
  having new contributors adopting a package before uploading a new one.
  check above list - it seems that we have some good candidates!
- candidates, once you have a maintainer account, register your
  @mandriva.org address in my.mandriva.com, then go & login to
  http://maintainers.mandriva.com, find the package you want to adopt,
  and click on the grab link to take ownership.

there are people on #mandriva-cooker channel on irc (freenode) to help
you if you need so.
