Hey All, This was just announced this week at CppCon (originally proposed at C++Now, by Robert Ramey). There's a new program and process to allow teams, who may be maintaining boost libraries internally, to become official maintainers. These are libraries that are currently being maintained by the Boost Community Maintenance Team (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/CommunityMaintenance) :
* Boost.ConceptCheck * Boost.DateTime * Boost.DisjointSet * Boost.DynamicBitset * Boost.Format * Boost.Function * Boost.Logic * Boost.MPL * Boost.PropertyMap * Boost.Signals (which is deprecated) * Boost.Tokenizer
More information about the program can be found here: http://beta.boost.org/community/official_library_maintainer_program.html
If you're interested in becoming a Boost Library Official Maintiner, please send me an email.
I am not at CppCon but Boost can also use library maintainers for a number of libraries that are not in CMT ( I am a CMT member ), but for which the current maintainer(s) apparently does not have any time to devote to maintaining the particular library. I can think of 4 libraries which fall into this category ( function_types, iterator, lambda, parameter ), but I suspect that there are many more. Therefore I would like to add that if anyone is interested in becoming a Boost Library Official Maintainer for a library which appears to be neglected, and which is not one of the CMT libraries, I think they should be encouraged to say so on this mailing list or the Boost developers mailing list.
