Thanks for explaining it here on the list.  I hope the situation will be 
resolved for you all in the short term.

If someone steps forward, are you allowed to follow the patches list and 
give feedback and/or approve patches for new contributors?  I assume this is 
possible since you helped out with objc++ review for me just recently.  But 
I wanted to be sure about what your restrictions are.

        Thanks,
