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

[Arthur Peters via cfe-dev]

One possibility would be to have me be an unofficial owner for a while
and have someone with commit access act as an intermediary and sanity
check until it's appropriate for me to be the official owner. 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.
