Currently we are a couple of people doing this: Carlo is helping
uploading packages and a couple of people are filtering mailing lists (I
actually don't know who). More people are welcome to help here.

I agree, which is why I am looking for a replacement. I have reduced my
contributions to the administrative stuff, but there are many other
things a good project maintainer should be doing:
* Help and guide new contributors.
* Make the hard decisions (e.g. should we move to Savannah or
not).
* Improve the infrastructure.
(A good maintainer would be able to come up with more points...).
Currently, I am not doing any of those things, which is why I think we
need somebody new to take the maintainer role; otherwise I fear the
project will stagnate.
