+1 from here...I already e-mailed Jim Parson a long long time (for sure
more than a year) ago because of some trivial outstanding bugs in that
package (missing requires, incorrect pam configuration, ...), some of
them I fixed then, some are still left. I tried several times and didn't
get any response.
I've actually found a few more since I wrote that list in the bz too.

Hm...I would appreciate keeping the package (...and could fix the very
trivial of the remaining bugreports), how complicated would it be to fix
the GFS2 configs? On the other hand, I've heard from somebody of the RH
cluster team that the package is deprecated at all, how's that?

Well if someone wants to maintain it, then I suppose there is no issue.
My understanding is that Conga is the preferred method for graphical
configuration of clusters. Personally I use vi for cluster
configuration :-)
My main concern is the number of people who have tried to use this and
landed up with incorrect/broken configurations or for whom the tool
simply doesn't work.
So once I've managed to get access to the package, if you or anybody
else is keen to take it on then I'm happy to grant all the required
privs or pass maintainership on to others as required,
Steve.
