Yeah, take up some tedious job and end up with even more in your rucksack. If it has to be I can do the PMC head job but I'd rather have someone else do that, like Peter, for example. You know how limited my Apache time budget is, lately. Nowadays I'm simply more an observer than anything else.
As for the Batik committership idea, I don't think that's a good one. I don't know the Batik codebase well enough to do any serious testing as is required when you apply a patch. There's simply too much that can go wrong. I'd have to find out how the whole testing infrastructure works etc. etc. Too time-consuming. I'd rather we find ways to revive the project from within the Batik community.
