I guess we need someone to take over upstream for this.  We are actively
developing it but upstream has not worked on it in a long time and has ignored
patches.  Eric Paris @ Red Hat has stepped up to take over upstream
responsibilities on the SELinux user space, and I guess some one needs to
request that setools be opened up the community.  I would gladly submit the
Fedora patches to a responsive upstream.
