OK, so we've got offers of effort on Maven from Darren, Hugo, plus review help 
from Olivier and Alex.  Maven gets +1 from me, Alex, and Brett too.

On the Ant side we've got +1 from Chip ("based on timeline"), Wido, Marcus, and 
Mice.  David has his deps-ctrl branch, but no-one has offered to finish the job.

We have consensus that the release is going to slip by at least 3 weeks (2 at 
the front and one at the end), which gives us four weeks total to get the build 
system done and debugged (i.e. between now and final release candidate on Sep 
14).

With that extra time, does that change anyone's opinion?  It would be nice to 
get consensus on this issue, otherwise we're going to have to put it to a vote.

Thanks,

Ewan.
