I'm sorry for the Fedora part, I didn't know their wiki was in so bad state 
:(

Many thanks for the hints. I just joined the upstream texlive mailing list. 
I will read the thread started by Jindrich and I will ask there how I can 
help.

I'm sorry again. I just used the way to join the team for the Debian Python 
Module Team.

I looked for some package to adopt but at first I missed tipa[¹]: I would 
like to adopt it and maintain under the umbrella of the TeX Task Force 
(with Debian TeX Maintainers <debian-tex-maint@lists.debian.org> as 
maintainer). Can I use the team's SVN for tipa?

I will remove my membership from the alioth project if you consider it 
dangerous: I'm here to help and I will follow all the TeX Task Force 
policies :)

Thanks for your response!

Kind regards,
