FYI, in the past weeks I took care of the main WhishList -- if something
got added I mailed the Fedora owner normally.

I'd say: check via
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/bugzilla?tg_format=plain
who owns those in Fedora. I suspect at least some of the packages owners
have EPEL packages already, but didn't get around to these ones. Send
those a mail in private asking for their plans and I suspect you can
shorten the list a bit.
For the remaining ones: a second mail can't hurt. Reminder (to everyone
that plans to do something like this): before sending such mails please
check this page
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/ContributorStatusNo
If the FAS username of the package owner please don't send mails
regarding participating in EPEL to them.

I'd say so. I will mail the owners then. But you can do it yourself as
well. The template I use can be found on:

Thx Thorsten.
I've added the missing packages to the wishlist and did some additions
to the rt3's wishlist page. It seems it's not that bad actually. There's
not that much packages without someone to take care of them in EPEL.
I'll mail the EPEL guys that have packages to rebuild, this should
shorten the list drastically. Then I'll go on with the
EPEL-maintainer-less packages.
