Maintainer for magicfilter wanted

First posted to C.O.L.A.

Hi all,

After trying to get myself to release a new version of magicfilter for
three years, I'm giving up -- it isn't really interesting to me
anymore, the way for example autofs or syslinux are, and the difficult
part is all in script-generation, which is pretty high level.

I have some substantial improvement to the engine code, but the
scripts are still left at the level they were in magicfilter 1.2.

Please let me know if you would be interested in maintaining all of
magicfilter, or just the script-generation part.  I believe
magicfilter is a useful tool and that it being easy to set up and
customize is a major win.  However, I don't have time for it anymore,
combined with everything else I want to do.
