I figure to continue my limited role as assistant maintainer, and
general voice in favor of limited modification (call me the
"bug-compatibility advocate"), but don't have the time available to do
more than that.

But I do have the change bit, which is probably a good thing, since
there were some problems early in the history where owing to personnel
changeover it was hard to get people promoted to commit status, etc.
