Subject: [KBUILD] I'm looking to pass on the maintainership

I don't have enough time any more to maintain the configure, menuconfig,
and xconfig suite of programs.  I'm looking to pass that responsibility
to a new maintainer.

These programs are mature and I don't expect any major new features in
them, ever.  It's mostly a matter of accepting and testing bug fixes.

You need to know: C, awk, ncurses, TCL/TK.  All the configuration methods
have their fans and you can't reduce the work by killing any of them yet.

If you are interested in the role, send me a letter.  If I get several
letters I'll pick someone in 1 week, on 25 March 2000.  Naturally Linus
has to approve all maintainerships.

Sigh; I should have written this note several months ago!  My apologies
in particular to Andrzej Krzysztofowicz, who has written a lot of patches
I never took time to review.
