OK, that's an option I'll definitely consider.
If anybody wants to speak up for or against Dan taking over the role
of release coordinator, please let me know your reasons ASAP; feel
free to send me private email, if you'd rather not discuss it
publicly.

Yeah, though we might also want to consider getting the security
patch(es) out quickly as 1.94.6, and then following up with a feature
release (perhaps 1.95?). That would make it easy for folks to
address just the security issue, without worrying about what new bugs
might be introduced by the new features.

I don't recall why I originally chose the TIS license (which is what
I based the Majordomo license on, with their permission) rather than
a GNU license. If I recall correctly, the GNU license was nowhere
near as well-established back then, and was just one of several "open
source" (though that term hadn't come into use yet, I don't think)
licenses that were floating around.

Yes, if necessary, though it might make sense to move them to
Sourceforge as well (if that's a service they offer; I don't know).
Nobody here is paying any attention to bounces or requests for
approval on the Majordomo-* mailing lists.

Noble sentiments.
