Yes, I had misunderstood the new stucture. I thought there was only one 
project now, "compiz-fusion" - and that David R. was a principle developer of 
that, who might be able to pull some strings and give us some extra 
consideration. I realize now this is not how it works at all.

One of the reasons I asked is that for 10.2 some Novell projects released with 
rather unfortunate timing from openSUSE perspective - iirc both Banshee and 
Mono released new versions very shortly after openSUSE feature-freeze. 
Personally I don't care about any of those projects, but I care about 
openSUSE and it seemed silly that there was no coordination. 

I was hoping we could avoid a repeat. But since the release of compiz + 
compiz-extra is not under our control at all, I'm just wasting people's time.

So all I'm left with is just to express my hopes that we can ship both 
compiz(-core) _and_ compiz-extra with 10.3. 

I guess the new settings manager is in -extra...
