Hi all,
I'm new here so please take that into consideration... but as John
Goerzen is tagged `on vacation' in the developers LDAP database, perhaps
his failure to reply to an e-mail might only be a temporary thing.
Unfortunately AFAICT non-DDs aren't able to get access to the MIA
database; perhaps one of the DDs on the list could check on Mr.
Goerzen's status. From what I can see he looks to be quite an active
developer, at least up to June/July... I believe Mr. Goerzen is
in the U.S., but even Americans do take August holidays some times ;)
