Awesome, looks very nice!

I would say, ping the package owner:

   https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/users/packages/laxathom

Sending along a patch to the .spec file would probably be good.

It appears debian is even farther behind:

  http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/guile-gnome-platform

I think debian packages probably need a new maintainer. Rotty's a bit
more responsive now, but probably could use some help; anyone want to
step up for this? You could probably become a "Debian Maintainer", as
it's much easier than becoming a DD proper.
