I've kind of lost the drift, but it sounds to me as though Jo Rhett is
tentatively offering to take on extended support for 6.2, but not

to bring to the table in order to provide that back to the project?
Is that a reasonable statement of what's on discussion here?

Thank you. If you don't mind I'd prefer to widen the scope a touch
because 6.2 will eventually go away, and frankly it is probably better
to look forward than to resurrect an unsupported version. So I would
probably state:
Jo's $EMPLOYER has significant interest in longer support for -REL
versions. Enough to fund my time supporting the mainstream project.
What would Jo (or anyone else in a similar situation) need to bring to
the table in order to provide back to the project?
