ASDF + QL maintenance needed.

ASDF needs volunteers to replace its retiring maintainers.

One easy way to start, and a good filter for people non ready for the
job, is the simple and boring yet essential task of looking at
Quicklisp build failures and either fixing other people's build files,
or fixing ASDF, depending on who introduced the bug (often a
combination of the two).

Recent Quicklisp build report:
http://report.quicklisp.org/2017-12-11/failure-report.html

I've started these two pull requests:
https://github.com/marijnh/Postmodern/pull/115
https://github.com/zkat/chanl/pull/12

If there are candidate maintainers, we could do some more of these together.
This would build up:
* Good practice for dealing with build issues in quicklisp
* Knowledge of what is or isn't the contract provided by ASDF 3.3.

If instead of teaching other people what government should be and should do,
you'd teach yourself what government actually is and does do,
you'd be a libertarian.
