There is already a link to the Mageia package there, and Cauldron is the name of
its development branch (which eventually stabilises on the next release). The
current Mageia Cauldron is what is going to become Mageia version 6. The
Cauldron entry is easily reachable from the Mageia link.

I don't need a place to checkin packaging files because Mageia already provides
it for me, but thanks for the offer.
