One of RedHat’s packagers drops a lot of important packages’ maintainership due to management chain decisions. These include:
- gnome-bluetooth (including Settings panel and gnome-shell integration)
- totem, totem-pl-parser, gom
- libgnome-volume-control
- libgudev
- geocode-glib
- gvfs AFC backend
- power-profiles-daemon
- switcheroo-control
- iio-sensor-proxy
- low-memory-monitor
