Hi Rahul,

Not all of them - some contain code / links to libraries that are among
the ForbiddenItems list, others not even close to being up to scratch or
likely of little interest to the community at large. There's probably a
couple that are dead upstream too - I've been packaging some of these
for a LONG time. :-( 

That being said, I'm looking to toss a few in - the merge has made me
rethink how I build and maintain my own repository (ie. "It's expensive
to try and mirror F7 Everything with updates on 512k ADSL here in
Australia for build purposes" ;-)) and perhaps it's best to get them in
sooner rather than later.

I've been meaning to submit perl-Geo-IP for ages now and with
courier-authlib this >< close courier-imap / maildrop are likely
candidates - although courier-imap is going to take some serious work to
make rpmlint/PackageGuidelines happy.

I think that innotop (console MySQL monitor), pfqueue (Postfix/Exim
queue manager) and memcached (distributed memory-based "data-cache")
could be of interest and rpmlint already reports them being fairly
clean. These are my most likely candidates :-)

If there's others I've mis-estimated in terms of usefulness/interest,
let me know - I'll make more of an effort to clean them up and get them
out there.
