The aforementioned logical and responsible part is swamped with work just now and horrified that I made the offer. But I suppose it's done and I'll start picking things up when the flood recedes in a week or two.

Thanks for the offer to take on this role, Ed. *Not* to discourage you, but as of late, we've had quite a few offers to help out with various parts of Twisted but a lot of them haven't come to much. The administrative costs are getting to be a significant burden on some team members who are already swamped. I think the best thing to do would be to contribute improvements to the tracker for a while (once you're all dried off ;). We'll absolutely take the time to get tickets in the tracker taken care of, but for now it'd be best if we could avoid the setting up new accounts, dealing with keys, poking trac in all the right places for edit permissions and whatnot. With the review process we're currently using, this isn't very far from what you'd be doing anyway. Once things slow down on the administrative end and you are contributing enough improvements for the overhead to be worthwhile, we can get you set up with commit access and so forth. Again, thank you for stepping up. I am personally looking forward to your contributions. Jean-Paul
