Cool.  Having an "official" maintainer makes life easier for ordinary
users in general, especially wrt bug reporting.

http://git.musicpd.org/cgit/master/mpd.git,
git://git.musicpd.org/cgit/master/mpd.git,
http://git.musicpd.org/master/mpd.git all points to you now.

Can you update any wiki/web references if I made any with my tree

I'll be busy with other projects for a bit, but things may cool down
during December as it does most years...

I'm not sure about delaying a release too long in search of "perfect" vs
"good enough" (something mpd has had problems with since the extremely
long 0.12.x development phase); and I don't feel we're too far off from
being in a releasable state.
