[Geary] Geary maintainership

[Michael Gratton <mike vee net>]

Hey all,

It seems that email client we all know and love needs some 
maintainership. We probably all know about the Pantheon Mail fork, and 
while I respect the work done by the Elementary and Pantheon 
developers, I still prefer the GNOME desktop and apps that conform to 
the GNOME HIG. Hence I'm interested in keeping Geary alive.

So I'm writing to see if there is (anyone else) out there interested in 
picking up maintainership. Since I have done a small amount of geary 
hacking, I'm happy to volunteer, but I am still something of a vala 
novice and will be pretty time-pressed until I submit my phd thesis 
later this year. So I'd mostly be limited to just wrangling bugzilla 
patches from contributors and doing releases for a while.

I'd also be happy if there were one or more co-maintainers, if anyone 
else was interested.

Once we have the who sorted out, we should contact Jim/Charles/Robert 
and see what they think about passing on the baton.

It would be great to start getting some existing patches landed, and 
thinking about addressing some of the more pressing issues - things 
like the webkit1gtk dependency, working out how to collaborate with 
Pantheon Mail, better support for non-GMail servers, mailbox 
management, the account UI, extending search, etc.

What do you all think?

//Mike
