Well, I won't have to time to become *the* maintainer in the near future,
but I think I'll be able to contribute a few improvements or perhaps also
install changes by others (as I have received a couple of private mails by
others working on gnatsweb).

Would you mind giving me a few hints?

 - What version in CVS I should base any future work on?

   I assume the head of the tree? (There is a branch, but it seems old.)

 - ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/gnats/contrib/gnatsweb-2.7beta.tar.gz
   contains a snapshot of gnatsweb.

   Is this the most current one?

   It does not seem to be in CVS. Should we make this the head of the
   tree, or has this evolved independently? If the latter, what's the
   proper procedure to merge this in?

 - Are "we" the current maintainers of gnatsweb or is there some external
   development going on?
