Indeed. Thank you Steve!

Then again, this _is_ about Windows packaging, so why not give it a
try? When I read Steve's plea for help, you were the first to come to
my mind. :)

Hmm. Didn't Steve have his own patch queues for the binary releases? I
guess that would give you some leeway to ensure you can release
something you're proud of (which I think is essential).

Anyhow, unless someone more suited to the task - like you, Adrian -
steps in, I'd be ready to look into taking over from Steve. I think
it's a crucial part of furthering Hg adoption on Windows.

I have little experience with TortoiseHg on Windows yet, and am not an
old hand at Python either. So there would be quite a ramp up. On the
other hand, I have a lot of experience developing on and for Windows,
even though I favour Linux these days.
