I can help with co-maintainership too. If the other Nepomuk team members
agree I propose co-maintaining NMO.

Pro:

- I wrote Tinymail, a library that abstracts MIME, IMAP and POP for
  E-mail client developers. I was involved in the development of Modest,
  an E-mail client being used by Nokia.

- I made the changes to the NMO ontology in Tracker, so that it would be
  possible to store MIME formatted messages

Cons:

- Same as above, it means I have a small bias on what yesterday's E-mail
  clients needed to pragmatically accomplish 'being an E-mail client'.

- I somewhat understand MIME and IMAP's BODYSTRUCTURE. Apparently that's
  a con ;-) (it must have frustrated Evgeny a lot).
