For Gluster we are interested in keeping it maintained in some form. At least [email protected] could be added as a list. I am not sure there is anyone working on Gluster that would fit for a maintainer of the driver. If you really want to put a name there, I can function as a 'maintainer' and pull in other Gluster developers in case I am otherwise occupied. Niels
