I may be interested in helping out, but I need to see how my free time
goes. I currently manage 3 RHEL5 systems, two of them in my basement so
I have the hardware/software configuration to be a release manager. The
question is if I really have the time or not. I just started a new job
so I need to see how that goes before committing to this.
I'll be checking back in a couple of weeks...

See the link that was in the mail your replied to ;-) Here it is again:

It doesn't list everything, but a lot already ;-)
How much time do you think is needed?
That completely depends on how good you want to do the job and how
much work is done by others. Also note that external issues influence
the time that is needed a lot. Preparing everything for RHEL6 likely
will mean quite some work.

I just installed rhel5 and wanted to get the nvidia driver for it

I'm also interested in getting at least a status on this. What is
holding back the availability of kmod/akmod for EL ? No decision on
kmod/akmod itself yet or lack of interested maintainer ?
*If* we want to have akmods in the EL-5 branch then kmodtool and
some other tools need adjustments to properly support EL-5. I
haven't worked on those because (a) I haven't found time (b) the EL
repo in RPM Fusion seems completely stuck.
Yes, a lot of packages are in the testing repos and we have a few
maintainers that are willing to support the EL branch. But nobody
really feels responsible for it as a whole and wants to acts as
release manager afaics (¹). Announcing the repo officially without
such a person IMHO would be bad, as such a repo from my experience
really is needed for a healthy and hopefully growing repo.

(¹) a few people replied to

but nobody really said "yet, I want to do it" in a proper,
enthusiastic manner.
