I totally agree about having a wider spread for maintainership.  I
don't think the stable branch would require much time to maintain.
That is the only real "need" we have at the moment.  The "unstable"
branch is just gravy right now.

Yes, I'm confident you'd be able to learn the rest fairly quickly from
what I've seen of you in the past.

I think the thing everyone should take away from this discussion is
that there is no pressure or obligation here.  There is also no
Spring, just the wind that smells fresh before the storm, but I
digress.

Seriously though, whatever you or anyone else can offer at this point
is better than the current nothing, right?  People will come and go as
their lives change directions, and that is all understandable.
Whether it's a day, a week, a year or longer you can spare, it's all
good.

Who knows, someday things may settle down for me and I'll be back
again, but now just isn't the time.

I've just unlocked it.  If those Chinese assfuckers start attacking it
again though, I'll have to come up with some sort of ACL.

Also, Stephen, do you have a sourceforge account?  If not create one
and send me your username so I can add you to the list of developers
who have write access to the CVS repository among other things.

Thanks.
