Well, given enough time I can digest knowledge quite good, but it 
happens that I'm trying to get a university degree (I never understood 
english degree names very well, but it is that kind of degree that you 
take from a university you enter at the age of 19 and you exit a 
teorical minimum of 5 years later) and many other things... so time is 
just the scarce resource.
But if it does compile OOTB like Corinna says and if no one expects me 
to release gtk+2 tomorrow... I could well commit to mantainership.

Of course anyone with more time / knowledge / will could take my place 
as it wants 0=)

Yeah, I just love it.
But even if they're way too big fishes for me, I can't just sit in a 
corner a watch (this leads to my many filled bugs in 
bugzilla.mozilla.org, my mantainership of rsync and other cygwin 
packages, my small contributions to freebsd ports, and the such). =)

Not true, cygwin is pretty big and pretty good ;-)

(yeah, still waiting for someone to do "80 hours of work" for the 
rootless XFree =P)
