Are you volunteering to run and maintain this? If the regular
developers express a strong interest in this, I'm willing to do this.
However, I'd want to keep the list of people with write access very
short. Not to prevent from people from contributing to SANE, but to
ensure that all submissions are reviewed by someone who has
demonstrated a longstanding committment and understanding of SANE.
Petter> Any comments? Any reason this has not been done earlier?
Lack of necessity? Note that SANE is very different from other
projects because it is primarily an API. If you work on
backend/frontend X, the need for having the latest and greatest
version of backend/frontend Y is virtually non-existent.

Thanks. I thought I had done that, but it seems to have slipped
through the cracks. It's fixed now.
