I think that would require first that there be people on the list
familiar enough with gnat to quiz, and I'm not sure there are. :)  If
you're familiar with ADA and feel comfortable adopting the package, I
don't think anyone here will gainsay you.

If you're going to adopt it, you should retitle bug #154098 to an 'ITA'
bug instead of an 'O' bug (this, at least, should be in your grasp before
you try to adopt a package :).

Do you have a likely sponsor for your uploads, or are you in need of one?
