So far I have seen response from Martin, Ralph and John.  Did I miss
some responses?  Martin is added as uploader, while John asked to be
removed.  Ralph showed up after the last uploads before the freeze and
is missing from the list of uploaders.  I guess he should be added, but
am unsure if such change would be accepted by the release managers this
late in the process.  Anyone know if it is worth trying to get that
change in before the release?  To me it seem like a long shot.

I did leave Peter Samuelson as an uploader of libvorbis because he had a
request to join the pkg-xiph team pending on Alioth (which I since
approved), but I now have doubts that this was the correct thing to do,
given no activite from him on this list, and believe he should be
removed as uploader.

So to summarize, Ralph should be added as an uploader of all the
packages maintained by pkg-xiph, and Peter should be removed.

Do the rest of you agree with this?
