Thanks, Scott.

Cool, I'll add myself as an Uploader then.  I will still need a sponsor
for the first upload, however.  I've been working closely with
Gianfranco Costamagna, but if there's anybody here who'd like to sponsor
me then that's fine as well.

BTW, I consider the work I posted on my git repo (link above) to be
basically finished (I'll just need to adjust the Uploaders part), so if
someone is feeling like reviewing it I'd appreciate.  I used git-dpm and
follower the DPMT policy.

Thanks,
