OK, I'm on board with this. What I need is a list of the willing, to be
comaintainers on this set of packages. Here's the list as I see it right
now:

Tom Callaway (spot)
Ralf Corsepius (corsepiu)
Patrice Dumas (pertusus)
Paul Howarth (pghmcfc)
Robin Norwood (rnorwood)
Steven Pritchard (steve)
Chris Weyl (cweyl)

Anyone else? (I'll wait until tomorrow to add the comaintainers)
