I thought there are already more submaintainers and with David the package
is obviously growing. Basically I don't like very much posting diffs to my
own utilities and keeping my own CVS developer repository. Additionally I
supposed that your inbox is quite full enough with such kind of mails
(regarding the number of Cygwin packages you're maintaining). But - as I
said - it was just a proposal open for discussion. Finally these utilities
are not THAT important anyway :)

Regards,
Jorg
