I considered stepping up as an interim maintainer briefly, but this is
the exact reason
on why I punted.

Looking at e.g. `git diff --stat gitgui-0.19.0..gitgui-0.20.0` (which
is 16 month apart),
the workload seems to be very light, so I would not have concerns
w.r.t. time spent.

Stepping back a bit and asking "What does a maintainer do?" I think knowing the
language very well is not the top point, but rather looking at the design,
maintainability of proposed solutions as well as long term well being
of the project
is what makes a good maintainer.

That said I could step up as a maintainer, but for each patch I"d ask
the contributor to
find a reviewer who knows tcl well, as that is a part that I cannot
cover. And from a
contributors perspective this seems to be discouraging.

No way, sorry. I don't speak TCL at all. Every change is a true pain... ;)

Are you by chance volunteering to be git-gui maintainer?

This patch has been in use in Git for Windows for a decent period of time.

I actually see that there is a problem with it:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/761

I'll try to revise it and resubmit.

Sorry about that.  No volunteers materialized yet X-<, and I really
really do not want to apply anything other than trivial patches to
it myself, as I am not a git-gui user.

 git-gui discards the author details on amend.

 Fix by reading the author details along with the commit message, and
 setting the appropriate environment variables required for preserving
 them.

 Reported long ago in the mailing list[1].

Pat, we haven't heard from you for a long time.  Are you still
around and interested in helping us by maintaining git-gui?

Otherwise we may have to start recruiting a volunteer or two to take
