I think the next maintainer shall decide this. In 2.10 (master) we have
the problem that Tim started to use gengetopt with i18n enhancements,
which was never finalized, so this is blocked (probably we want to
revert to the normal getopt).

Is there anybody on this list who wants to take over? I promise to help,
and it's not much work :-)
