That's great!
We would had more developers.

One question
If we could merge trivial PR in github, do we had sync mechanism for fedorahosted
and github?

Also,
see decription of Rich's libguestfs on github:
'''
library and tools for accessing and modifying virtual machine disk images. 
PLEASE DO NOT USE GITHUB FOR ISSUES OR PULL REQUESTS. 
See the website for how to file a bug or contact us. 
http://libguestfs.org
'''
But we should give it a try.

Hope this will not bring much extra work to Cole :)
