"maintainers" ? Plural?  That would be nice.
Unfortunately there is just the one singular me....

There are certainly other contributors who 
 - answer questions on the list 
 - provide bug reports
 - provide bits of code

and I am very thankful to them.  But I haven't found a likely co-maintainer
yet :-(


I'm certainly happy to consider and concrete proposal.  The more concrete,
the better.
