Thanks for doing this work on extending GNATS and making it available.
Unfortunately I have not been committing enough time to GNATS to take
on rolling your work into the next version of GNATS.  I hope that by
stepping down as maintainer I will clear the way for a better new
maintainer to take this on.

That sounds good.  Supporting a free software database such as MySQL
may be important in getting the changes accepted, since GNATS is a GNU
project.
