[ Anyone know the new email-address of Chase Douglas? ] I don't know anything about your "maintainer" or "developer" policies. The Linux-kernel sources have a MAINTAINERS file and a script to list all involved maintainers in a certain area. >From the xserver I know that there exist diverse persons as release manager or maintainer of stable GIT branches.
