Re: scrotwm window manager (new name: spectrwm)

[Lokesh Mandvekar <lsm5%buffalo.edu@localhost>]

I noticed this package has been moved into wm/ and it looks like the current
version in the tree is the one I had sent in the prior email.

I was wondering if it would be ok to list my email 
(lsm5%fedoraproject.org@localhost) in the MAINTAINER field 
unless a) it was someone else's effort that got this into wm/ and/or b) it's 
against policy
