Hi thanks for your answer,

I was "soft rejected" because I didn't reply correctly when analyzing
the license files. I have read much things about it it now, and my past
AM said that I it would be fine if I re-applying within 6 months of time
past his rejection. I really feel like I'm ready.

Roberto, my current sponsor and advocate, will agree to add few words,
so I've just added him as copy of this mail. Is the "New Maintainer
Committee" to be reached through this list?
