Hi,

I recently (Jan 11) wrote a mail to Adam Majer, the Rails maintainer -
In fact, I'll copy the message I sent to him here (and add him as Cc):

/-------------------------------------------------
| Hi,
| 
| I am using Rails for several of my systems, and I think that, even
| though I'm overworked and short on time, I can help you comaintaining
| Rails, if you are interested. My first intention would be to upload
| Rails 2.x to etch-backports, and (looking at the bug reports) to split
| the binary packages on its constituent(?) parts. And, of course, my
| scarce free time would only be added to yours ;-)
| 
| So, what do you say, can I become co-maintainer?
| 
| Taking even a (maybe large?) step more: Would you consider putting
| Rails under the pkg-ruby-extras group? That'd give an easier
| collaboration (as everything is done via the SVN repo) and more hands
| to work on tough things.
\-------------------------------------------------

So... Well, I am among the interested in working towards the stated
goals ;-) Adam, what do you say?
