I will add that I'm not the only official maintainer in RH for rdiff-
backup, although because I'm more active in the community I handle most
of the updates and issues.

However, I was going to add if I do disappear, there is nothing
stopping someone from grabbing the RPM spec file from one of the many
repos around and adding it back into the github repo.  The Fedora and
EPEL spec files are all in the public domain.
