Thanks for your support and interest. As I already have more than one
proposal we can consider it taken care of, for packages in community.
I will see how we can set up a dedicated mailing list since that's
what folks seem to prefer here.

But I need another volunteer to administer and maintain an ML and
anything else that you guys would like (forums, website, build
machine, etc). I believe then the constant user feedback loop will
help all of us keep packages and other stuff up-to-date and tested.

I will continue to maintain packages for extra and a few in community
with a co-maintainer to help me (because I use them personally when I
am booted into my Linux system). That co-maintainer can then also
request another developer to apply changes in extra for any package
that I am late in updating.

Please let me know if this sounds like a plan.
