You must have much more free time than I.  We have a choice
either I work on fixing gfortran bugs or I take *maintainership*
of the Fortran web page.  Go back and read Gerald's email.  He 
offered maintainership.  This does not mean self-approval only.  It
means reviewing any patch to the web page and verifying whether the
contributor has an assignment.  IMHO, the time is better spent on
gfortran bugs.

In general, the gfortran wiki is a better vehicle for communicating
with the gfortran user base.  If this doesn't fit into the world
view of others, well that's their problem.
