Well, if we had a core group we'd take a vote right now. In all key issues we
think need to be resolved at this moment.

As Ashley just said, he is admining the CVS and lately I have nominated
people for write access to a group of people I have considered core group
candidates.
I would have no problem seeing you take charge over this project.

I'm in favour for this suggestion. I guess advice and ideas will come later
on.

I added you there now, and switched on admin rights for you.
Let me suggest that we do this in some kind of organized way. We take
volounteers for taking on the maintainer's role and then we vote on the
nominees. We give the process like three weeks and when the time's up we go
with the winner and may the source be with us!
Or what do you guys say?
