How do you see this task of maintainership? I feel the midnight
commander is very much it's own project, and I don't feel very
comfortable about becoming a "unit" of anything.

I don't think we need a new infrastructure for the development proces,
just some fine tuning of the existing would suffice.

What the project needs is a maintainer (or maintainers) that not
necessarily does a lot of development himself, but one that oversees the
project development, can formulate sensible milestone targets and
communicate with the developers about these targets and if they are
being met, and do an occasional release.

I'm not sure this is what you are suggesting.

Leonard.
