The semi-official title is "FSF Project Steward" indicating that we do not
maintain the project, that is up to everyone else, but we guide the
project along with no special decision making powers.

There are in fact 6 of us:
- Ryan Arnold
- Maxim Kuvyrkov
- Roland McGrath
- Joseph Myers
- Carlos O'Donell
- Alexander Oliva

Roland, Joseph, and I are perhaps the most vocal stewards.

Cheers,
Carlos.
