    Just wondering if anyone here is a package maintainer or has considered the idea. I've recently taken on one myself, working on a front end installer for Arch Linux. The package itself was given up on by a maintainer, so I took over.

    Puts me to shame :P I've developed my own projects and I've only taken over one so far. So I'd be interested in taking on more when I have the time.
