I'd certainly be fine with this, and 'app-admin/system-tools-backends',
which is next on my list to go, to be assigned to maintainer-wanted
instead of being removed.
I've sort of inherited these, but have no use for them, and nothing else
depends on them.
The mask is not live yet, so any advice how to move along will be appreciated. :]
