  Because there are very few of us here and we all have day jobs.  Not because
everyone's arranged behind the scenes to cut you out.


  For my part, I simply cannot understand where this entire conversation is
coming from.  It seems to be predicated on the assumption that a
maintainership is some kind of position of prestige, status and power - as
opposed to the onerous duty and ongoing burden only willingly accepted out of
a sense of debt and responsibility that it actually represents.
