Maurizio Boriani seems to have vanished somewhere.
I took over maintenance for guile-dbi from him just late
last year; I never received a response from him in
3-4 months of trying.

I eventually convinced the gna.org people to grant me
write access to the guile-dbi project, but that also was
not easy to do -- They did not respond on thier 'normal'
channels, I had to file a server bug or something else
strange like that, to get their attention.

The right thing to do would be to register with gna.org,
and try to get them to add you as a project maintainer
for greg, and push your updates there.
