Have fun there.

I'd be interested in maintaining some of your packages:

glista: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19388
swami: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11642
klick: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20840
gtklick: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20841
pianobooster: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24276

Best regards,
Philipp
