Sorry for the delay - I was trapped in a different project this week, and 
let this in my to-reply-to pile.

I will be willing to monitor the chasm mailing list and web site to make 
sure submissions for issues get responded to and forwarded to this list. 
The biggest issue is making sure that bug reports that are submitted to 
the chasm bug tracker don't fall into a black hole.  I'll do my best to 
babysit the trackers and forward the issues to this list to make sure they 
are at least made known to people who are willing to work on them.  As 
people who work with me know, I can nag pretty well.  :-)

Whether or not this will lead to issues being addressed is another 
question -- I only have access to a small subset of Fortran compilers 
(that number decreased greatly when I left LANL -- UO doesn't have nearly 
the number and diversity of licenses as LANL did), so I'm limited in how 
much I can do myself.  If people don't respond to my nagging, there's not 
much I can promise.
