Maintainers needed

[Luís Oliveira]

Hey Jason,

You're quite welcome to jump in straight away and review pending pull
requests or issues.

I think that's the hardest part of maintenance, reviewing submissions that
don't scratch any of one's own itches. (With the sharplispers projects,
there's the additional challenge of dealing with unfamiliar codebases.)

If you'd like to adopt a new project, you can send a message to
sharplispers at googlegroups.com. In the group's archives you will also find a
fun proposal by Nikodemus to import projects from the CMU AI repository.

Cheers,
Luís
