Martin,

Thanks for your response.

IIRC Terry Reedy has already volunteered to do this, if I'm incorrect 
I'll apologise right now to both of you.

As for assigning bugs, I've been told to use the maintainer.rst list, so 
either the list is wrong, or I've had finger problems.  If it's the 
latter I again say sorry.

Kindest regards.
