Package Maintainers
Ok, here is the list for packages, and who is maintaining them. If
you see *any* problems, please mail me as soon as possible.
Please note that the "Base Category" title is more for us to
figure out what *must* get done, so if you don't want to put something
that is in the standard or recommended section, don't feel we are
trying to push anything.
The sections of "Sub packages" and "Required" are not complete, they
are there so I can eventually make a really nice list that tells
people at a glance what they need to download for package x.
Again, if you spot any mistakes, mail me.
