I'm aware of your group ...

To be honest I'm reluctant to hand over co-maintainence to "you all".
Perhaps on an individual basis however.  More importantly I've not had
anyone ever report a problem with libosip and then have finger pointing
occur.

Perhaps I've not been listening but ...

The mailing list seems like an interesting idea, I'll probably lurk on
it.

Hmm, the advantages are:

	1. more people can maintain it
	2. 'no finger pointing'

but I've had neither of these problems.  Frankly (1) sounds like a
disaster and (2) can be achieved via a mailing list.

So, for now, I'll wait/lurk and see.

Cheers,
Anand
