DB seems orphaned. Become a maintainer?

Hi Folks: The DB package has tons of open bugs. Many of them are easy to fix. Some even have patch files already associated with them. A couple are duplicates. I have posted a whole bunch of patches over the past month. None have been applied. I've even contacted Tomas directly, but haven't received any reply. I'm not faulting Tomas, or anyone. I know how busy we can get. At the same time, things need to get fixed. I would like to become a maintainer for the DB package. My computer has MySQL, PostgreSQL, InterBase, Sybase, MS SQL Server and Oracle on it at the moment. SQLite is coming soon. Here's a list of several bugs I've either opened or posted comments about. The comments contain patches and/or notes about the reports being duplicates. http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=234 http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=361 http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=397 http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=350 http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=49 http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=231 http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=101 This request comes in part because it's geting harder and harder to keep things straight because I'm now running a verison of DB that has patches on top of patches on top of patches. Then trying to fix new bugs makes things very awkward.
