(1) Add at least one project administrator for the SF project.
(2) What other project resources require Ales (and only Ales) to be
updated/modified?
(3) Which code is understood/maintained by only one person? I think we're
doing pretty well for gaf -- off the top of my head, the only bits that I
really don't understand are the undo mechanism and the netlisting system.
By using git, we're actually pretty safe from server destruction -- everybody
has a full copy of the VCS history, and thus everything they need to continue
development & distribution. But it would be nice, if Ales got hit by a
proverbial bus, to be able to continue (almost) seemlessly.
Just my £0.02 worth.
