Well, we do not have enough time nor people to help out, sorry if I
gave that impression. Contributions are always welcome, I was just
detailing how you'd get into a maintainer-ship role for a package

Feel free to drop by IRC channel #msys2 on OFTC, people on there will
be able to suggest packages that need some attention.
