I know that in the past there have been some difficulties when linux
base and infrostructure ports were maintained by one person. And I
don't have an intention to grab the ports.

To rephrase what I ment:
- initial commit -- my maintainership;
- compat.linux.osrelease becomes default at -CURRENT -- no changes;
- linux_base-fc6 becomes default -- emulation@ maintainership for
  those fc4-infrostructure ports which are maintained by emulation@
  ATM.

Well, there will be a dozen audio ports. Should they all be assigned
to emulation@? If Linux Emulation Team says "It's The Rignt Thing To
Do" I'll be glad to do so. ;-)

Just for now, I don't know if it's good to say "Hey, pals, I've got
some (two-three dozens of) new ports you should look after".

All those comments for sure should be given.

Thanks, Alexander. Your comments are very helpful as usual.
