        I did a mistake (I remove myself as a maintainer of automake). Nobody
is a developer of the automake project because it's just a mirror (the
CVS source part is a mirror). I added myself as a developer because Savannah
does not like projects who have no developers. Three days ago I removed 
myself because I forgot the reason I was a developer of automake. 

        My mistake was to add myself as a developer of automake to fix
this problem instead of either adding the admin user or a fake user 
created for this purpose only. Alternatively you could say my mistake was
to not fix the fact that a project can have 0 developers.

        If fixed the problem and I apologize for the inconvenience.

        Cheers,
