So am I :)

In the mean time can we have this patch go into rawhide please? We need to add
support to gstreamer's v4l2 plugin for the various cam specific formats oneway
or the other (I hope libv4l is the way), otherwise all the effort which has gone
into porting gspca to v4l2 and cleaning it up, which has lead to it being in the
mainline 2.6.27 kernel now, and thus in rawhide, is mostly in vain as people's
webcam's still won't work from an important group of applications.

I can co-maintain, or atleast request bugzilla watch rights for
gstreamer-plugins-good, if you want and then take care of any fallout this may
have. I already maintain gtsreamer-ffmpeg, gstreamer-plugins-ugly and
gstreamer-plugins-bad in that other repo.

If I become a co-maintainer I can also take care of adding the patch to CVS and
building it myself :)
