I'm swamped with work myself but I couldn't leave this package unattended. :)
After all I'm actively using it. :)

Yes I did test it to the extent of my abilities.
Actually it was quite tricky to do it right especially in regards to
config files but I believe I've managed to do it well.
Of course review, testing and improvement suggestions would be much
appreciated.

Thank you very much - you are more than welcome as co-maintainer.
Since I've been honoured with DM status recently I might be able to look after
this package without bothering you too much with sponsorship requests, if you
consider setting 'dm-upload-allowed'. ;)
Congratulations for the upcoming holiday.
