I've certainly been too busy with paying work to give PLIB the time it
deserves.

However:

* I don't run this like Linus runs the kernel - I'm not the sole
   'gatekeeper' of the golden sources.

* There are 24 registered developers - any of whom can incorporate
   patches into CVS, update documents, maintain the website, etc
   You don't need me to do this.  Here are the 24 developers:

   Alex Perry  		alexperry
   Bram Stolk 		bram
   Curtis Olson 		curt
   Gerard Decatrel 	deca
   Bert Driehuis 	driehuis
   John F. Fay 		fayjf
   Gil Carter 		gilcarter
   J�rgen Marquardt 	j_marquardt
   Giancarlo Niccolai 	jonnymind
   Will Lachance 	lachancew
   Per Liedman 		liedman
   Mark K Vallevand 	markus5
   Dave McClurg 		mcdave
   Norman Vine 		nhv
   Nick McEvoy 		nmcevoy
   James Jones 		puggles
   J. Nathan Matias 	rubberpaw
   Steve Baker 		sjbaker
   Eric Lavigne 		smokydiamond
   Sam Stickland 	sps196
   M�rten Str�mberg 	stromberg
   Sebastian Ude 	ude
   Wolfram Kuss 		wolfram_kuss
   Ben Woodhead 		zander76

* I don't believe I've ever turned down anyone who requested developer
   status.  If you plan to regularly commit patches and you aren't a
   developer - let me know and I'll give you CVS access.

* The only tasks you really need me to help out with are those that
   require admin privilage:

   + Mailing list settings.
   + Making releases.
   + Creating new developers.
   + Doing stuff like transitioning CVS to SVN.

Sooner or later my workload will reduce and I'll get active again - it's
just not practical right now - sorry.
