It's not so much in charge of this effort, but to coordinate or
oversee it so we don't have overlapping effort. I'm late to this
effort having only started my work on this last month, but I would
rather bring up issues specific to this effort to the group working
on this rather than putting them here on the tech-pkg list. I'm not
asking for another list, just to know who is out there working on
this effort. I'd much rather bring my pkgsrc-Darwin issues to this
group than to blindly ask here for help. (This would help me a lot
since I could find out what's been done and what hasn't so I know
which packages to work on/help with and not duplicate effort.)
