A bit more background (as suggested in PackageMaintainers/HowToGetSponsored)

procServ origins as a tool for the open source accelerator and physics control
system software EPICS (http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics). In that context it is
mainly used to run "soft" EPICS I/O processes in the background, while giving
access to the console (stdin/stdout) of the process through a local telnet
port.
As the tool is mature, quite generic, and already being used to "daemonify" a
number of other command line applications, it has been moved to SourceForge,
and people have asked me to package it and get it included into the
distribution.

The package is small, with minimal dependencies.
I was able to successfully do koji --scratch builds for all default
architectures on fc11 and fc12.

I am the current upstream author. I am working in accelerator controls, being
actively involved in the development of the EPICS software package that this
tool relates to.
