I am not at CppCon but Boost can also use library maintainers for a
number of libraries that are not in CMT ( I am a CMT member ), but for
which the current maintainer(s) apparently does not have any time to
devote to maintaining the particular library. I can think of 4
libraries which fall into this category ( function_types, iterator,
lambda, parameter ), but I suspect that there are many more.
Therefore I would like to add that if anyone is interested in becoming a
Boost Library Official Maintainer for a library which appears to be
neglected, and which is not one of the CMT libraries, I think they
should be encouraged to say so on this mailing list or the Boost
developers mailing list.
