Transfer of maintainers role

Last week Peter Graves (the original author of ABCL) mailed me that he
isn't able to hold the maintainers position for ABCL. Therefore, he
offered me the commit bit (and maintainers role). See also the mail at
the end of this one.

I'd like to use the opportunity to thank Peter for getting ABCL into
existance, maintaining it for a long time already. At the same time,
I'd like to thank him for the trust he's giving me with the project.

Since I've been set up correctly to maintain the project here on SF
last week, I guess it's time to outline how I view the project and my
new role.
The project has been - at least from what I've seen from it - pretty
much a one-man show. Even more reason to applaud Peter. Looking at my
own availability, I won't be able to deliver the same amount of
resources to the project. That does not necessarily mean a slow down
on development speed, however: I'd like the project to be a group
effort where we can all enjoy the efforts of others and others can
benefit from ours.

What does that mean? Mainly:

* It means that I'd like a maintenance team to grow around ABCL in due course.
* Reporting bugs is still fine, of course, but if it goes with a
patch: you have a higher chance of the resolution to be applied.

Next to that: I read this list on a daily basis (European timezones),
so answers should be available within reasonable time lines.
