I am not, but it nearly made my list of "places to start."

Steven can't really object anyone at all packaging it any way they like, 
provided they conform to its licence. The licence gives that right, and 
the licence can't be changed without the agreement of all contributors.

Packaging for the most popular distroes would, I think, be a good idea. 
Especially if you can make distro-specific repos so everyone can 
automatically get the latest release if they so choose. In some cases 
the distro organisers would probably host it - I'm thinking CentOS, 
Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu once you made suitable arrangements. Have a 
chat, though, with the Debian (and any others you can find) maintainers 
for SCID. They may be happy to do both until the merge is done, and then 
it will be business as usual for them.
