Hear hear!

I've lately become co-maintainer and even owner of several core 
packages, in the process closing on average about 5 open bugs per 
package and guiding those packages through the review process.

So any owners of former core packagers who wants a co to help close all 
those nasty bugs and guide your package through review? For credentials 
ask Behdad, Phil Knirsch or Ray Strode.
