The person who is going to look after this recipe in OE-Core. Each
recipe needs to have a maintainer listed, someone who is prepared to
get the upgrade helper emails, handle upgrades, help with security
issues, bugs related to the recipe and so on.

If we don't have anyone willing to maintain it, I'd argue its not
important enough to have in OE-Core...
