I'm also ok with it. (Btw: please remember to use the new mailing list,
langcom@, not langcom-l@ nowadays).

At Wikimania I talked to Ganesh Paudel about Maithili Wikipedia as well,
also about finding someone for the verification of the content. Now,
nothing against speakers of a language at Red Hat, but if at all possible,
I'd still prefer if we contact a linguist, if at all possible. So, let me
contact Ganesh about the linguists known to him who could be willing to
verify it; and I'll get back to you with the results.
