One single location of all the problems would make my life easier.  There's 
a reLyx section in the sourceforge bugs section and I guess that would be 
the easiest thing for me to use.  If people send me the problems via e-mail 
I can put them in sourceforge.

I'm not a hard-core LaTeXer so I don't know how suitable a maintainer I'd 
be.  If the bugs are explained in detail I should be able to fix them, but 
bug reports relying on detailed knowledge of TeX will go unfixed. :/

The perl style is different to mine so if I *did* take over maintenance I'd 
have to spend a while restructuring it so I feel at home.   If there are 
more python programmers I think that that 'refactor' time could be better 
spent rewriting reLyx in python (classes and functions should map over 
rather simply).  What are people's thoughts on this?

I think we should start centralising the reLyx problems, Amir's mailbox 
sounds like the place to start and from there decide whether reLyx should 
remain in perl or be changed to python.
