Me, but i cannot. digiKam is a big project, and i cannot manage more as well. Of course i can help as i can, to fix compilation and source code under windows. But my job is not to package. Also, as i buy a new Macbook computer, i manage also macosx compilation using macport project (I don't not package) > > BTW: Nightly builds needs also a maintainer - by default it is an > automated process, but the last release is from September 30, 2010, so > there must be something broken. I recommend you to speak about this status in a blog, and to ask for volunteers.
