[ANN] Looking for new maintainers for ox-latex.el (LaTeX export library)

[ANN] Looking for new maintainers for ox-latex.el (LaTeX export library)

[Ihor Radchenko]

[ This call is for __LaTeX__ exporter, unlike similar earlier call for
  HTML exporter ]

Hello,

I have been informed that our current ox-latex maintainer will no longer
able to perform his duties in full extent.

We thus need volunteers to help maintaining Org LaTeX export library -
lisp/ox-latex.el

Helping with the related ox-beamer.el will also be appreciated.

We need people fluent with Elisp with FSF copyright assignment (or
willing to sign it).

Ihor,

I am happy to help with both ox-latex and ox-beamer with two caveats: my
time at certain times of the year is very limited (as you know as there
is still an outstanding item for ox-beamer that I have not been able to
address since October or longer) and my elisp-fu is sometimes not up to
scratch.  However, I do have useful LaTeX & beamer expertise which can
be useful.

I do monitor the mailing list religiously. :-)

Thanks!

Note that we also got one more volunteer who replied off-list.

This is a very late followup...

Leo Butler, Eric Fraga, and Pedro Andres Aranda Gutierrez previously
expressed an interest in maintaining lisp/ox-latex.el.

If you are still into it, please submit a patch adding yourself to
;; Maintainer: line in lisp/ox-latex.el.

Bastien can then help you with getting write access to Org repo.
