[cfe-dev] Seeking maintainers of the clang-c interface and the cindex Python wrapper

[Duncan Exon Smith via cfe-dev]

Alex Lorenz and Jan Korous are maintaining libclang (clang-c) from the Apple side these days; I suggest asking them for reviews.

Regardless of how we slice this, there will be a need for a few people who are willing to review my changes (I'm happy to round-robin to spread the work) even though they are not interested my pet module. Eventually small changes will not need review, but larger changes still will, so the need for reviewers will not totally go away.

So I'm leaning towards "yeah, this seems reasonable" (but might require some of us folks who don't have much involvement to at least review a few of your patches to check we're generally on the same page with regards to design, etc).

I also have several other changes locally that I would like to push once I get a hang for the process. The are all extensions and bug fixes for clang-c and cindex.
