Initiated by members of the merged Debian and Ubuntu games teams and Hans de Goede from Fedora, a mailinglist [1] has been created to foster inter-distro/OS collaboration for maintaining games [2]. The goal is to share and review patches that the upstream project is slow or unwilling to accept, or to take over as the new upstream for software where the original upstream is dead.

At this time, members of Arch, Debian, Fedora, Fink, FreeBSD, Gentoo, NetBSD, Opensolaris, PCBSD, Slackbuilds, SuSE and Yellowdog are on this list as well as Gnome and KDE.
