Hi Stas,

The list has been reduced since first opening the discussion, some
maintainers have come forward for some of those first mentioned.

There are still some outstanding extensions though, and I'd like it if we
could move forward with this RFC: either finding maintainers or moving them
out.

Could you possibly find some time to push forward with this please ?

Cheers
Joe
