Thank you for your reply.

The situation here is that original author of sawfish (John Harper)
has passed maintinaing sawfish to its users (the community). He is
not involved in the code any more, as you can see it here:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/sawfish-list/2007-June/msg00044.html

He exactly says that we "work out amongst yourselves". I voluntereed
to lead the "takeover", but I don't want to claim being sawfish
author. Other people on the mailing list agree with it also:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/sawfish-list/2007-July/msg00052.html

And basically, we want to follow what is on gcc page:

http://freshmeat.net/projects/gcc

And instead of email address give an URL about people that are
involved in sawfish.


Thank you for reconsidering this submission.
