Actually no. Fedora Legacy came from when Fedora was created. Fedora Alternatives and Extras were other proposed projects.

Where we need help is testing packages, reporting and vetting issues (not just 'hey this CVE was filed, does it effect us?'

He's on the fedora infrastructure team which has this listed as one of the projects. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure Don't wait on me to make it happen. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
