It would be great if SFE people could continue to be maintainers. Unfortunately there are still a few steps that only Sun employees can do (legal reviews, etc), so each module needs a Sun "sponsor".

It's almost ready to be published, just trying to figure out how to open up the testing process so non-Sun testers can submit test results or test cases.
