Reassign "mandriva" project to @rpm5.org team?

Asked by Jeff Johnson

I'm the lead developer at http://rpm5.org which uses Launchpad extensively.
I'm also heavily involved with Mandriva distro development.

The "ROSA Project" is one of the projects "owned" (in the launchpad sense)
by the @rpm5.org team is ROSA Linux, a clone of Mandriva linux being
developed in Russia. Launchpad is in use for project planning.

Since its unclear how Mandriva's bankruptcy is going to be resolved, I'm
assisting with some of the transitional tasks in case the Mandriva "business"
is actually going to be forced to close. The Mandriva linux distro will continue,
there are too many derivatives around, and too much activity, for FL/OSS
development to cease because of a "business" bankruptcy.

I'd like to take over the http://launchpad.net/mandriva "project" because
of the naming and instant "brand identification". The usage case will
be project planning initially, exactly the same usage as what I am doing
with ROSA at http://launchpad.net/rosa for the Russians, but for
the French/Portugese portions of Mandriva.

My @rpm5.org intent with Mandriva project ownership is mostly to
help bootstrap development. I fully expect to give the ownership
to someone else, all depending on the resolution of Mandriva's bankruptcy.

Thank you!

I assure you that if there are _ANY_ political
problems wrto "ownership", I will reassign to whomever
wishes to to own the "Mandriva Project", or hand the project
back to Launchpad.

Meanwhile I need the "brand recognition" to try to jumpstart
2012 feature planning and preserver Mandriva continuity ...
