Luckily that document is under GPL. Whew!
I will take this opportunity to once again encourage, exhort, and
okay, beg all authors to use a license that allows us to find new
maintainers, and all volunteers to ask authors to do so when you talk
to them. It is important.
Okay, now on to this document. If we can't contact Michael, then you
can take over maintainership of the document. Shall I list you as
official maintainer?
You're probably aware that there is a Gnome Accessibility Project that
was just discussed I think on LWN today. They might be willing to help
you, too.
