I am only realistic in time commitment. I have recently taken over
ippl and co-maintainership for dpatch, exim4 takes quite some toll
with regard to time, and adduser badly needs a rewrite. And I still
have a logrotate rewrite on the slab. I am maintaining too many
important packages already.

I am usually in favor of some finely granulated lists structure to
allow people to choose which information they want or not. So, I'd
prefer a ifupdown-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org mailing list.

ajt would need to consent, too.
