Re: java-atk-wrapper maintainership

[Alejandro Piñeiro <apinheiro igalia com>]

I sent a email to the previous maintainers as Bastien mentioned. After 
some months without answer, and after mentioning it on one of the weekly 
meetings of the accessibility team, I added myself as maintainer, 
without removing Ke Want. It is true that probably it would be good to 
notify desktop-devel-list too.

Best regards
