Hi David,
I think this i an excellent idea, and keeping this file on Worg so
that people can access it on the web and modify it when needed is a
good idea.
If everyone agrees, then I am glad to accept your offer to start a
system like this.
Matt, I guess this covers pretty much exactly what you were proposing?

Dear all,
I am having a lot of trouble keeping up with everything here in
emacs-
orgmode, in combination with the rest of my life.
Is there anyone who would be willing to step up as a co-maintainer,
at
least for some time?
The tasks would include looking at small patches people submit,
making
decision about whether to apply them, checking copyright issues, and
applying the patches. I will be around, so important decisions can
be
deferred to me.
I do have some time at hand I can spend for maintenance tasks of Org.
As Thomas S. Dye has pointed out in
[mid:143d63fd-e8f2-4b1c-abfd-db11159e5...@tsdye.com] something that
seems to be missing in Org development is kind of a queue for open
issues.[1]
IMO setting up patchwork as a semi-automated tracking system is a good
idea: As far as I could see from various projects that use patchwork
it actually /is/ kind of an issue tracker, tracking this special kind
of issues, patches. If it is possible the patchwork installation
should not publish the submitters' mail addresses -- currently the
submitter's name is displayed with a mailto: link that contains the
email address.
Tracking patches with patchwork would leave open the question of other
kinds of issues: Bug reports w/o patches, feature requests, and
general user questions. I'll try to track these issues and after I've
found a suitable work flow maybe put a file with open issues on Worg.
Both systems would form a queue of things to be done: The organizing
task consists of (a) reviewing non-patch-issues and (b) reviewing open
patch-issues in patchwork and (c) make decisions (e.g. apply patch,
comment, etc.).
This is something I volunteer to do.

[1] todo.org in ORGWEBPAGE is definitely out of date (git blame)
