+1 On what Benoit says.

I'll be using the current iteration of this patch to update the couchdb 
rpm spec I've been working on. Additionally, I've opened a dialog with 
the Redhat package maintainer about the possibility of maintaining or 
contributing to this package for RHEL/Centos and Fedora. This can be an 
issue for any distribution package maintainer.
