Re: The need for a libobjc maintainer

[Adam Fedor]

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.
