Good point, that is a indeed an incoherence among the listed options.
I've not listed Barry as a separate option after having verified that he
does not support removing Matthias as a maintainer. For the very same
reason, I shouldn't probably have listed Jakub, but I wanted to pass on
the information of him volunteering anyhow, in case it might be
useful.
So, assuming the two of them feel equally strong about that (I've no
reason to believe the contrary, but I'm Cc:-ing both of them just in
case), either Barry should be considered as an option too or (more
likely) Jakub shouldn't.
Cheers.
