here's an idea, take create and/or create foundation or whatever its called to sflc software conservancy (eben moglen's law firm) my friend bradley kuhn runs, and inkscape is a part of, and move create project, whatever libregraphics projects exist, and then that gives the benefits of a foundation without all the loads of work involved with creating.
I can put that into motion quick, and it works super well! Plus, I got the hookup for us on that...interest?
