Joanie thinks that in order to avoid issues of 'bus factor' and to provide timely responses to members of the release team, etc. All official/core GNOME a11y team apps should have two maintainers (joanie, 14:58:42)
Joanie, Aline, Javi, and Ale agree that we should have a policy of a minimum of two maintainers for every *core*/*official* gnome a11y module (joanie, 15:04:54)
Pending Brian's feedback/reaction, Javi is willing to be the Accerciser co-maintainer (joanie, 15:06:13)
ACTION: Joanie will ping Brian about Javi as a co-maintainer (joanie, 15:06:29)
ACTION: Joanie will ping Li about having Piñeiro as a co-maintainer (joanie, 15:06:43)
ACTION: Joanie will ping Eitan to see about finding a co-maintainer for Caribou (joanie, 15:06:59)
Brian is happy to have a co-maintainer (joanie, 15:08:41)

Joanie and Piñeiro have been contacting the module maintainers for things which used to be part of GNOME a11y but were dropped (joanie, 15:12:49)
These dropped modules include Dasher and gnome-voice-control, along with MouseTrap/OpenGazer and the alternative Vedics (joanie, 15:13:23)
Patrick Welche has been doing quite a bit of work on Dasher and Piñeiro and Joanie will seek its reinstatement as an official GNOME app (joanie, 15:13:59)
gnome-voice-control has no interest in moving forward. See https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/festlang-gvc/2011-May/000079.html (joanie, 15:15:02)
Piñeiro has contacted the developer which the Consorcio Fernando de los Ríos contracted with to improve g-v-c (joanie, 15:15:36)
Piñeiro has contacted the Vedics developer to see what that team's plans are for converting away from CSPI. (They are migrating to python and pyatspi2) (joanie, 15:16:23)
Joanie also pinged Bryen re VizAudio but has not heard back from him (joanie, 15:18:50)
We are waiting to hear back from the OpenGazer team. We heard back from Flavio about MouseTrap but it's not clear how much involvement/contribution time he can make at the moment, though he is interested. (joanie, 15:19:44)
