Are there any maintainers (i.e. people with commit access) reading the list?<br><br>Bryan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">David Lichteblau</b> <<a href="mailto:david@lichteblau.com">david@lichteblau.com</a>><br>

</div>There are several maintainers (if you count people with commit access as<br>
maintainers), but I am not sure that they are all read the mailing list.<br>
<br>
I would still add projects that I care about personally, and possibly<br>
fix bugs in code I wrote, but don't have the time to review<br>
more-than-trivial patches on the list.<br>
<br>
Perhaps some of the committers would be willing to commit patches if you<br>
asked them directly.<br>
<br>
Keep in mind clbuild's history though: First there was Luke's<br>
repository, which is history now. Then there were Christophe's<br>
repository and my fork. Today there's the repository on <a href="http://common-lisp.net" target="_blank">common-lisp.net</a>.<br>
<br>
So clbuild users have dealt just fine with the fact that maintainers<br>
have come and gone.<br>
<br>
If some of the people with uncommitted patches are willing to make their<br>
darcs repository publically available, I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem<br>
for them to "take over" for a while.<br>
