Yes Fabrizio has also helped me out with XDOC (although I haven't checked it all yet). > This approach is fine, I think > asking the general populace of users if they wish to help > maintain a plugin where they have no record of having done so > before is not fine. Just to be clear, I assume you're not > saying this is like we're asking for applications for plugin > maintainers. Yep, this is exactly right. While it'd be great to get help in this area, it'd be crazy to start gathering committers with no track record. We need people who are going to stick around, do the right thing, and respect the direction that the PMC has set for the project. I think I also pointed out that I thought plugin maintainers should be willing to help on all of the plugins, not just one. - Brett
