We would be happy to have Andrew become libobjc maintainer. Andrew
seems to have some motivation to apply outstanding patches and good
ideas for the future. However, being the other large user of GCC
Objective-C (and the major user of GNU libobjc), I think we would like
to see a GNUstep developer be appointed as a co-maintainer. I think
it is important that we have some visibility and authority over the
long-term direction of the system.
If you agree, I'd like to nominate Nicola Pero. Nicola already has
write-on-approval status with GCC and has actively been involved in
patching and improving GCC Objective-C and libobjc.
Yes, absolutely. It would be good to have one maintainer who actually
lives on the GNU runtime day-to-day, and then another who has exposure
to the Darwin side of things (esp. differences between the GNU and NeXT
runtimes). So, if Nicola agrees to run for office :-), I'm definitely
for nominating both him and Andrew.
