I don't see why we would also package it in Packman if it's already in the 
OBS.

Do you need help to review the package there ?

What I found in the OBS (in the "medical" project) is.. erm.. weird oO

medical/gnumed-client04
medical/gnumed-client05
medical/gnumed-client06
medical/gnumed-client07
medical/gnumed-server10
medical/gnumed-server11
medical/gnumed-server12
medical/gnumed-server13

Are those release versions ?

Again, I don't see why. We prominently package multimedia and game packages, 
and the OBS, with its infrastructure and build power, is already there for 
everything else.

Putting the word out is probably a more effective means.
Have you contacted http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE-Medical ?
