I think you deserve to be credited for the work you've put into Hugs &
have your name up in lights as the maintainer, hence my suggestion.
But if you feel that assigns too much responsibility on you for keeping the
system healthy, dark corners and all, that's allright. I'm just as happy to
have
it be labelled as maintained by "Friends of Hugs" (or some such) and leave
individuals out of it alltogether. But, if you want the Hugs maintainer
token
(a real stone token contributed by Andy Gill a couple of years back), it's
yours.
And, no, it's not a millstone :-)
