Indeed. David Nielsen put some work on coordinating Mono packaging
efforts, but left because of some perceived snubs before the effort bore
fruit.

There is a fedora-mono mailing list that is currently mostly dormant,
and David is still listed as the maintainer -- in fact, he's still on
the mailing list. We should perhaps take advantage of this list better
-- does this plan sound feasible?

1. Get an active Mono packager to take over the list
2. Announce that Mono packagers should join the list.
3. Allow a week or so for opt-outs, then auto-subscribe anyone who
maintain Mono packages
4. Require posting to this list whenever a mass-rebuild is done

Thoughts?
