I opened this thread and I will have the last word.
I *guarantee* you, I would have taken up the maintainership. I seem to
be a lone dissenting voice which also wanted to *take up* responsibility
in a substantial manner at a throwaway price.

Hi everyone,
may I suggest that we dry up this thread and the related threads? It seems to
me that what needed to be said has been said and we should stop providing an

I do not remember you've ever been rude with me. It's not personal.
It's just that I would like Org to return to its peaceful and happy
road. You announced in some earlier message that you were unsubscribing
from the list. Another a

I offer to take over maintainership of Org, gcc, and the Linux kernel.
Offer closes in 7 days. Only pre-conditions will be that Org gets
ported to Notepad, gcc to be turned into a llvm front-end and Linus
sodomized to death. All that under my supervision.

If that is true, if this is "fun" for you, then you shall underst
What Free Software needs is contributors and a good outlet. For
Orgmode, the latter problem is solved because Emacs serves as a good and
well-known and well-respected clearing house.
Recruit more contributors. Get out of the way of existing
contributors. Ignore, just plain ignore the riffraff.
Another question: Why are people Jambu-bashing and Bastien-hugging when
I have clearly said that Nicolas Goaziou's work has not been duly
recognized. People are selective about what they want to see or hear.

I wrote the exporters and contribute to Emacs just because I feel
decades (or couple of decades) down the road when Carstens, Bastiens,
Nicolas, Erics and all others fade in to irrelevance and obscurity,
Emacs and by extension Orgmode will continue to be used by some

Org right now is making quick progress, important improvements, and has
a lot of enthusiastic and useful contributors. When a maintainer
decision needs to be made, there is usually a satisfactory result. (Not

There's no technical reason someone interested in making an offer should
