I tried to keep the maintainer/bugowner up to date. I really maintain
these (even if I don't use some of them so much)

$ osc -A pm my -U RedDwarf pkg
Essentials/amarok
Essentials/gmtk
Essentials/kdemultimedia4
Essentials/kdemultimedia4-12.1
Essentials/kdemultimedia4-Tumbleweed
Essentials/mp4v2
Essentials/npapi-vlc
Essentials/opencv
Essentials/opencv-12.1
Essentials/strigi
Essentials/vo-aacenc
Essentials/vo-amrwbenc
Games/libdevil
Games/love
Games/scummvm
Games/scummvm-tools
Multimedia/aegisub
Multimedia/moc

I keep distribution specific versions of opencv because it's tendency
to break binary compatibility. And from kdemultimedia4 just because I
don't know what would happen if you mix latest ones with older KDEs.
You are set as the maintainer of gnome-mplayer/gecko-mediaplayer. If
you don't want them I will take them to complement gmtk.

I am used to the OBS informing me of upstream updates. How do you
manage it? Any scripts?
