No problem at all.
Really, I just have no time right now to support all my ports.
I'm not security officer, so I have no ability to test all your security
fixes. It's little silly ask me about approvements for security holes
patches..
I'm committer without rights to touch my ports (it's not so fun to
send-pr(1) every time..)
Anyone, who ask me about changing maintainership, can get this.
So:
1) Feel free to pass maintainership to anyone who want. I prefer
last person, who send-pr(1) patches, for example, SDL and
Maxim Sobolev <sobomax@altavista> (guess I'm right).
2) I'm _not_totally_ unresponsible. I have some activity for
ports fixing. Just "it's a question of time" (C) Depeche Mode
3) If you have more rights, practice and ability with fixing ports,
why not just fix them?
Again, feel free to change maintainership or whatever.
Sincerely yours, Andy.
