Chris,

Aaron advised us, some time ago, that he no longer felt able to 
devote time to maintaining MinGW's GCC releases; the baton was 
passed to John E.  As yet, we've had no indication of John's plans 
for an official MinGW release to supercede Aaron's GCC-4.4.0.

Cesar,

Your willingness, (indeed your enthusiasm), for taking this on is 
refreshing.  Thank you for the offer; I am sure we can anticipate a 
high standard, on a par with your work on MSYS.

Seems ideal to me.

It may be politic to give John E. an opportunity to either accede 
responsibility to you, or for you to agree joint responsibilities.
