I'm not an official maintainer but I do have a sponsor last time I checked
;), and I've been working on a package for an S/Key PAM module for my own
personal use at any rate. I guess the only real issue is that I am in the
US... but hopefully that's a non-issue now, right? I'll take the S/Key stuff
if nobody else is interested...
