The context is the problems with mumble and celt, which have been
referred to the Technical Committee (of which I'm a member).

Thorvald: you are listed as the maintainer for mumble, along with Ron.
Patrick: you seem to have been involved in mumble recently.  

Ron evidently has no interest in maintaining celt in wheezy, and we
need a maintainer for the celt package so that wheezy's mumble will
interoperate properly.

I see that the mumble package itself has embedded copies of various
versions of celt.  Are either of you happy to maintain the
non-embedded celt 0.7.1 package in wheezy as well ?

Do you need co-maintainers, sponsors, etc. ?

Thanks,
Ian.
