[ruby-core:26704] Maintainer confirmation process done.

I'm sorry for my closing the maintainer confirmation process so late.
[ruby-core:25764].
I've updated the list of maintainers.
* http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/wiki/ruby/Maintainers

As a result of the process, I confirmed that some of libraries have had
no maintainer and that some of maintainers want to release their
maintainership.

Now we can start the maintainer election process which was mentioned in
[ruby-core:26147].

== lib/English.rb
It has had no maintainer but it has not been modified since 2004. The
maintainer of it is probably unnecessary. The core team can fix it when
its bug is found.

== lib/abbrev.rb
It has been maintained by Akinori MUSHA. But he did not declair his
maintainership in the process. Akinori, would you release the
maintainership?

== lib/base64.rb in Ruby 1.8 series.
It has had no maintainer but its major part has not been modified since
2004. The maintainer of it is probably unnecessary.
A submaintainer is possibly wanted.

== lib/benchmark.rb
GOTO Kentaro has been the maintainer but he did not reply to the
confirmation process.
Kentaro, would you release the maintainership?

== lib/complex.rb in Ruby 1.8 series.
Keiju ISHITSUKA has been the maintainer but he did not declare
maintainership. Keiju, would you release your maintainership of it?

== lib/cmath.rb in Ruby 1.9 series.
same as lib/complex.rb.
Keiju, would you release your maintainership of it?

== lib/debug.rb
It has had no maintainer. A maintainer is wanted.

== lib/delegate.rb
It has had no maintainer. A maintainer is wanted.

== lib/fileutils.rb
It has had no maintainer. A maintainer is wanted.

== lib/find.rb
It has had no maintainer but it has been stable. A submaintainer is
possibly necessary.

== lib/finalize.rb in Ruby 1.8 series
It has had no maintainer but it has not been modified since 2006.
The maintainer of it is probably unnecessary.

== lib/ftools.rb on Ruby 1.8 series.
WATANABE Hirofumi released the maintainership.

It remains just for backward compatibility to Ruby 1.6.
The maintainer is not necessary. A submaintainer is possibly necessary.

== lib/getoptlong.rb
It has had no maintainer but it remains just for backward compatibility
to Ruby 1.6.
The maintainer is not necessary. A submaintainer is possibly necessary.

== lib/jcode.rb
It has had no maintainer but it has not been modified since 2006.
The maintainer of it is probably unnecessary.

== lib/mkmf.rb
It has had no maintainer. A maintainer is wanted.

== lib/net/http, lib/net/http
Minero Aoki has been the maintainer of them. But he did not reply to the
confirmation process and I know he is very busy.

A new maintainer is wanted.

== lib/net/pop
same as net/http. A new maintainer is wanted.

== lib/net/smtp
same as net/http. A new maintainer is wanted.

== lib/net/telnet
Wakou AOYAMA has been the maintainer but he did not reply to the
confirmation process and he has done nothing for seven years.
A new maintainer is wanted.

== lib/observer.rb
It has had no maintainer but it has not been modified since 2005.
A submaintainer is possibly necessary.

== lib/open3.rb
GOTO Kentaro has been the maintainer but he did not reply to the
confirmation process.
Kentaro, would you release the maintainership?

== lib/ostruct.rb
It has had no maintainer. A maintainer is wanted.

== lib/parsearg.rb in Ruby 1.8 series
It remains just for backward compatibility to Ruby 1.6.

The maintainer is not necessary. A submaintainer is possibly necessary.

== lib/ping.rb in Ruby 1.8 series
It has had no maintainer but it has not been modified since 2006.
The maintainer of it is probably unnecessary.

== lib/profile.rb
It has had no maintainer but is not being actively developed.
A submaintainer is possibly necessary.

== lib/profiler.rb
It has had no maintainer but is not being actively developed.
A submaintainer is possibly necessary.

== lib/pstore.rb
It has had no maintainer but is not being actively developed.
A submaintainer is possibly necessary.

== lib/racc, ext/racc (Racc runtime)
Minero Aoki has been the maintainer. But he did not declare his
maintainership in the process.

On the other hand, Racc runtime is stable enough and is a part of Racc.
I think it is good that a new submaintainer will fix minor bugs with
keeping communication with Minero.

What do you think, everyone?

== lib/rake
Jim Weirich has been the maintainer of it and he is developing Rake at
github.

He did not declare his maintainership in the process but he committed a
new version of Rake into Ruby's repository on 25, Sep.

I believe he will continue to maintain Rake. Right? < Jim

== lib/rational.rb in Ruby 1.8 series
same as lib/complex.rb
Keiju, would you release your maintainership of it?

== lib/rdoc
Eric Hodel has been the maintainer.

He did not declare his maintainership in the process but I believe he
will continue to maintain Rdoc.

Right? < Eric

== lib/readbytes.rb
It has had no maintainer but is not being actively developed.
A submaintainer is possibly necessary.

== lib/rexml
Sean Russel has been the maintainer but he did not reply to the
confirmation process.

A new maintainer is wanted.

== lib/rubygems
Same as rdoc.
Would you continue to maintain RubyGems, Eric? Right?

== lib/rubyunit.rb
Nathaniel Talbott released the maintainership. But this library does not
need to be actively maintained. The maintainer of it is not necessary.

A submaintainer is possibly wanted.

== lib/runit.rb
Same as rubyunit. A submaintainer is possibly wanted.

It is not being actively developed. A submaintainer is possibly necessary.

== etc/fcntl
It has had no maintainer but is not being actively developed.
