@samcarter -- Er, a kudu would be pretty hard to maintain, I think. (A kudu is an antelope with marvelously beautiful twisty horns.) I think you want to award "kudos" (which, by the way, is singular, even though it doesn't sound like it; it's Greek).
What would be the best forum to pass maintainer ship to someone else? I am technically the maintainer of the sanskrit package but I know nothing about Sanskrit and not enough about TeX itself. People keep coming with meaningful questions that I cannot answer or help them with.
@barbarabeeton Oh, I'm very sorry for the typo! I met some kudus while in Namibia. They were usually hanging out in the shadow of the parking lot when we left for our night shift - a bit intimidating, but beautiful creatures.
