FWIW, I added myself as maintainer because the current ones stopped to
work on gnome accessibility a long time ago. But due my lack of time, my
work as maintainer would be similar to my small phase as Caribou

they don't got forgotten) and doing releases if needed.

Around 2010 hackfest Ke Wang was providing commits steadily, but in the
end he also got sucked in the Sun/Orable debacle.
