I don't see why I was added to this meta bug, I was only involved with adding the language/locale to the language list and providing the mappings. I'll not be involved with translation, dictionaries or other l10n content. Removing myself.

Me and my colleagues have been added to CC without any notice or will. Removing our addresses.

I don't know why Óvári (ovari123@zoho.com) has added us all to the Cc list without any request, question, permission, or whatever, but I have removed myself now.

For a writing system [it's not even a language] virtually nobody can read or write this is a fairly chatty pile of issues.

Not suprising that there seem to be rather a mess around. For example the name is, according to ISO-15924, is "Old Hungarian (Hungarian Runic)" and not "Rovas"; it is in the "ancient/historic" category, which truly represents is status.
It requires a fairly recent version of Unicode, which basically means the characters are not displayed by anything but stuff those people use who actively play with this script.
