Welcome Krzysztof!

I'm not a maintainer but it's cool to see some fresh blood. The ML is
not dormant it's just a bit... slow :). I'm all for you getting commit
access, however I think you should refrain from doing those
"restyling" commits like the #'(lambda) vs. (lambda) patch you sent
earlier. It adds noise to the git log and is just a matter of personal
taste, so if it ain't broke...

Unless of course you have other reasons for that change than personal
style.

Anyway, happy hacking and thanks for the contributions :).
