Why don't you step up and offer to help maintain this? If I was Alon, I
wouldn't want to do maintain both just cause you wanted me to. It
increases maintenance load and work he has to do and since he's a
volunteer it's all about scratching his personal itch, since this
doesn't for him.. why should he do it. Clearly it gives you an itch, so
setup up and offer to help maintain.
