Will you continue to maintain it? I wouldn't like to see it committed once
and then slowly rot. I think you should get commit access, commit it
yourself, and then maintain it into the future.

Maintenance of non-MySQL DBMS code has been a problem in the past, we
really need someone to refactor the common code to Database, move
MySQL-specific code to DatabaseMysql, and generalise the installer and
updater. If you're looking for something to do.

I'm doing some work on the installer frontend, but a DBMS-independent
schema update system (like updaters.inc) would be orthogonal to that.
