BDFL has talked.

I want to record this:

* I will keep maintaining bsddb in Python 2.6. No idea what is the plan
for 2.7, nevertheless.

* I will keep bsddb updated and available via PYPI, both for 2.x and 3.x
branches. Source only. Windows users will be at the mercy of other
compiling the module and making it available.

* I will be available if the decision to drop bsddb from standard lib is
reconsidered.

* I will try to find another Python area of interest to me, to fully
honor my commit privileges.
