Colin,

True. But I think some general outline of what is expected from someone who
wants to "take over" a portion of kernel Squeak is good. It simply means
that there's a common understanding within the community of what is expected
from a "kernel package maintainer". This can only help as we are moving
towards a more decentralized model of development.
Cheers,
