I consider myself the maintainer because I at least make sure it keeps working with new berkeleydb releases and such and am one of the most familiar with the _bsddb.c code internals (both the good and the bad). But theres a caveat to me having that job: I have -zero- use for the bsddb module myself today. Whenever I update it it really is a donation of my time since I don't personally need the changes. A maintainer that has a vested interest in using the module would be a great thing. There are a couple crashing bugs that need fixing and a few more recent API additions that could be wrapped for sure. Volunteering Jesus? :) -gps
