I'd be willing to do it, assuming that it can be done remotely, but with
the understanding that I would make no changes right awa, and would not
be able to be very much involved for a couple of months.  After April,
my workload might shift enough that I could take care of some of the
five dozen projects I want to get going; mailing-list stuff being near
the top.

However, if one of you other three would like it and have the time, then
by all means take it.
