well, I would like not to get more involved in binutils than I
currently am. James Troup offered to take over maintainership some
time ago, and Dan Jacobowitz is involved upstream as well in binutils,
so maybe we have better candidates?
I'm away from my mail from 11.09. until 20.09. I won't do another NMU
before this time, and I hope the situation changed after my vacations.
