I would love to pass the responsibility for ongoing maintenance of Boost.Units on to a new torchbearer. My time to dedicate to this project has dwindled to essentially zero, and I believe it would be best for all involved to enlist some fresh blood, ideally someone who is using the library on a regular basis... Any volunteers?
I am willing to throw my hat in the wing, but to date I've not contributed even one patch to boost, much less maintained a library. There must be other candidates with better qualifications. Boost.Units doesn't seem like a high-maintenance library (my own PR not withstanding). It's coverage of existing units is already quite good.
As far as Erik's request, I don't have any objections to adding these to the library, though I have not had time myself to verify that they are correct.

I've been unable to raise a response from either Steven Watanabe or Matthias Schabel, either on- or off-list. It would be nice to get a thumbs up or thumbs down so I can make a decision on how to proceed with my other project.
