It is wonderful to hear that a piece of software that has long
been abandonware now has someone who 'cares' much more than
anyone who has touched the 'git.git' tree in years.
I would rather remove unmaintained pieces of software from the
'contrib/' directory, and optionally replace them with a pointer
to the location of a maintained fork. So, no, I would not want
to be a gatekeeper for that part of the 'contrib/' directory
when I do not have a particular need, interest, or the
expertise to properly maintain it, if I can avoid it.
