Bump. Is there no interest?

Hi,
I'm the author of Pyrit (http://code.google.com/p/pyrit) which I'd like to see a package for in the openSUSE factory repository. As I am the main author and maintainer of the upstream project, I can't take care of maintaining a package in every distribution myself; therefor I'm looking for a maintainer.
Pyrit integrates technologies like CUDA, Padlock, OpenCL, CAL and AES-NI with Python and shows some very heavy iron works using this language, easily pushing several hundret gigabytes of data per second around the block.
A short description of Pyrit, taken from the main page at https://code.google.com/p/pyrit/
Pyrit allows to create massive databases, pre-computing part of the IEEE 802.11 WPA/WPA2-PSK authentication phase in a space-time-tradeoff. Exploiting the computational power of Many-Core- and other platforms through ATI-Stream, Nvidia CUDA, OpenCL and VIA Padlock, it is currently by far the most powerful attack against one of the world's most used security-protocols. Pyrit is free software - free as in freedom. Everyone can inspect, copy or modify it and share derived work under the GNU General Public License v3+. It compiles and executes on a wide variety of platforms including FreeBSD, MacOS X and Linux as operation-system and x86-, alpha-, arm-, hppa-, mips-, powerpc-, s390 and sparc-processors.
Pyrit is already in the official package repositories for Debian 6, upcoming Ubuntu 11, Arch Linux, Pentoo and Backtrack 4. The main package builds from source - to my best knowledge - without any warnings or errors on any major Linux or BSD distribution and produces - again to my best knowledge - no errors or warnings from rpmlint or other QA-tool. The latest version 0.4.0 has no patches in Debian 6 that are not custom to the distribution itself. To ease deployment for FOSS-distributions, the parts working with CUDA, OpenCL or ATI-Stream are put into seperate, optional modules. The main module builds and runs without proprietary build tools, SSE2- and VIA-Padlock support are detected at runtime (therefor compatible down to i386).
Maybe someone is interested?
