We should. I was only takling about this release here, since I think the 
search for a new maintainer is probably a bit more time consuming than we have 
left till we actually need the release builds being done.

In general when looking for a new Win32 maintainer IMHO a criteria for a 
possible maintainer would be that he is using Windows on a daily base and does 
not cross-compile from whatever system he uses instead.
