List for people interesting in developping and using Sympa packages

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Thanks a lot for your answer, Xavier.

This looks like a very promising work. I'm not familiar with the package 
validation workflow for RedHat. Does one need to be a recognized 
packager to be allowed to review a package or can anybody do this? If 
this is a matter of testing the install on various platforms, we could 
do this here.

Cheers,

David
