Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

You might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

This is just to repeat this request for a shake rpm in mageia...

Although Mageia has testdisk and photorec, it has no shake package to prepare userspace for photorec. I've noticed many text style files like source codes recovered by photorec are fragmented and recovering are more like a puzzle. Would it be different if I had run shake before? 

Shake seems to be interesting at a mageia's suite of packages to restoring damaged/deleted files.
