Thanks. The credit for this should go to the early maintainers like Robert Williamson, Paul Larson, Martin Ridgeway, Micheal Reed, Nathan Stratz, Manoj Iyer, and others who did a tremendous work during that time.

If you are doing it through e-mail, then just signoff that mail to ltp-list. Else you can also post things to Sf.net tracker like this: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1942286&group_id=3382&atid=303382, Thanks for initiating this co-operation. We can explore other things in future as well.
