Absolutely, thanks for that - I think that makes you and me the only
initial committers (http://incubator.apache.org/devicemap/team.html)
who have been recently active.

I'm not blaming people, life happens...but it's good if we can find a
way to go forward by inviting others.

Yes - we're currently discussing this on the private list (as is usual
for discussions about people), hoping to have some announcements very
soon.

My understanding was that this maintenance would happen here, after
the DMAP-11 donation, but as you say:

Ok, so we need to work towards that.

sounds good!
