Re: [Maven-plugins-developer] Request for new project: Maven IzPack plugin

[Brett P. <bre...@gm...>]

I spoke to Geoffrey about this, and am +1.

Can one of the project admins grant some other folk on the project (eg
me, dIon and Siegfried) admin status so we can take care of some of
the admin tasks that have come up?

Cheers,
Brett
