Hmmm. No. Unless I completely misunderstood Lucas's post (which is
very possible, I have basic understanding problems ;-)...), what Lucas
proposes is to drop pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers altogether. To this I
strongly object.
See the quotation from <20090729082834.gc28...@xanadu.blop.info>

Unless I'm very wrong, that means dropping pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers
? Could you clarify, please, Lucas, if you're around ?

For me, this is perfect.
The main problem is the following: sometime users write directly to
pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers, and they expect an answer. Maybe a proper
footer to the list would help ?
