Woah, that was kind of Deja Vu when I read about the poll for changing the
version control system. Kind of frightening. Are we already there?
The time issue is a strong one - you spent that much time as the project
is worth for you. I do still feel strong about the project, but especially
the visionary things usually are put down in favor of quickly done necessities.

Maybe we can come up with something "visionary" where more people are
working on, so you have mutual encouragement and gratification. Maybe
a topic which is already long-standing on the agenda. I guess the
automatic source builds for BTS could be something like that. It would
need work in several areas, like GAR, checkpkg and recipes and would
be doable, if at all, only as joint effort.

Maybe other maintainers have other (more?) visions?


Best regards
