Yes, I read that E-Mail before [1].  I was wondering if anyone is
interested in helping to maintain a stable branch for longer.  The
E-Mail noted that if there was assistance in maintaining the branch, it
was a possibility.  I was also affirming my interest in helping with the
maintenance.

    "Our stable releases are generally maintained until the next one is
    out, although exceptions could be made if distributions request it.
    We'd appreciate help on this matter though!"



Thanks,
Micah
