I think it would make sense to put me in instead of Bob. Steve hasn't
been working on the actual code for a while -- even though he remains
a valuable source of information for GFS2 -- so I don't think he will
object to being removed here.

For the time being, I will be the only person screwing up the upstream
gfs2 repository, so I'll also be the person to fix things up again. In
that context, would it make sense to add the gfs2 list? Is this what
you would commonly do?

Thanks,
Andreas
