grub needs more contributors

[Yoshinori K. Okuji]

Hello all,

I'm sorry that I have been silent after I released 0.94. I had no spare 
time to work on volunteer projects unfortunately. I thank all the 
contributors who sent patches and reports. I will check all messages in 
next week. So please do not assume that I ignored contribution. It's 
just a problem on having time to work.

My spare time is still quite little. So GRUB really needs more 
contributors who do maintenance tasks. Currently, I'm doing almost all 
tasks to maintain GRUB. This situation looks very bad, because nobody 
else can continue GRUB, once I stop working on GRUB.

If you want to keep GRUB good software or make it better, please help 
the maintenance job. There are many tasks, from a very easy one to a 
quite technical one. Here are some examples:

* Maintain the mailing lists for GRUB. Mostly just dealing with spams.
* Asks contributors more information when they provided little 
information about their contribution.
* Maintain and improve the web pages.
* Maintain and improve the GRUB FAQ.
* Apply patches to the CVS.
* Handle copyright issues.
* Analyze the code when a bug report is sent.

If you are willing to work on one or more maintenance tasks, let me 
know.

Regards,
Okuji
