Then we should file a suggestion improvement on JIRA's JIRA. This is extremely 
useful for us and for our users.

Unless someone objects, please consider this a request to do what's necessary

couldn't. I think those are the people who were nominated as approvers and 
maintainers at bootstrap, not via email to the list.
