Can you be more specific on the details of the process? Is there more to it than opening an issue on the project's issue tracker? Is there a public list of people who have signed copyright or do you typically just rgrep NEWS/AUTHOR file(s)? As Eli points out, it would be good to have an "official" reasoning spelled out, also to point to if opening issues. Thanks, Rasmus -- Slowly unravels in a ball of yarn and the devil collects it
