I would like to begin following the policy for nonresponsive package
maintainers with regard to the 'scala' package.

I have attempted emailing the maintainer several times offering to
co-maintain the package and have heard nothing in return.

There is an open bug on the package for upgrading it to 2.10.x, which
has been open since 03/14/2013 as well as other people stating they have
been unable to contact the maintainer:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673971#c16

I'm somewhere between steps 4 and 5 right now, in the outline on this
page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers

It's been well over 3 weeks, but this is my first message to devel about it.

I would like to take over this package and update it to 2.10.x for
Fedora 21 (or possibly 20, though it wouldn't be an official "Change",
because we're past the proposal deadline).
