Re: generic-build-script maintainership (WAS Re: non-widget child "DropSiteManager" error)


Ronald,

I hope what I said below didn't come out as "I will take over
maintainership".  I may be able to commit a few patches (since I have
access already), but I doubt I'll have much time for extensive testing or
reviewing of others' patches.  It would make me much more comfortable if
someone else served as a buffer between me and the raw CVS, and at least
reviewed and approved my (and others') patches.  If you wish, we could do
it the way Pierre, Thomas, and others with commit access deal with the
winsup repository: they can commit, but their patches have to be approved
by either CGF or Corinna first.  If you want to serve as an approver
(maintainer) and double-check my decisions, I can take care of committing
the patches.
	Igor
