I know that Dag and Karanbir both participate in the list (I'm making no claims for their satisfaction with how things are going so far). Axel Thimm, who's a Fedora developer who also runs a third-party repo, is also very active with EPEL.
But also very disappointed from the course that EPEL chose to take wrt to all other 3rd party repos. He's currently stripping off repotags from his repo cursing all day people in EPEL that forced him to do this.
Maybe if we all can agree to some ground rules, then all repos can play nice. See proposal: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/RepositoryCollaboration
These rules should had been going w/o saying, but sadly the true colors look more like (on discussing repotags):
00:55 < mmcgrath> | I'm just tired of playing politics with people who are trying to define what rules we play by even though they don't honor our rules. 00:55 < mmcgrath> | I mean hell, how many of those 3rd party repos have even signed a cla? 00:55 < mmcgrath> | We're aiming much larger then they are and we have a much different structure as a result.
I'm tired of trying to build bridges. It wore me off in fedora.us days and it's happening again with epel.
