My batting average remains at a thousand -- I never get things right on the first try. I don't know how the Steering Committee has designated me. I will say that it had best be as Front End Maintainer, because if Jim and I don't do it, the project is going to be, I suspect, very hard pressed to find somebody else to do it. This does beg another question: If somebody wants to submit a patch that affects the code in the COBOL front end, and if I am not in the role of reviewing those changes, well, who is supposed to do the review? Or is that understood to fall under the aegis of Front End Maintainer? The FSF has a copyright assignment for me on file. In any event, I will edit myself out of everything except Front End Maintainer.
