Maintainer wanted for TortoiseHg Windows builds

Hi all

On the TortoiseHg developer list, Steve Borho, the current maintainer
for the TortoiseHg Windows binary releases, has announced that we will
soon need a new maintainer. Since I don't know if all of you people
interested in TortoiseHg are subscribed to that list, I took the
liberty to mirror his announcement here:

I'd be ready to look into taking over from Steve. I think it's a
crucial part of furthering Hg adoption on Windows. However, I have
little experience with either TortoiseHg or Pyhton on Windows (yet),
and am not an old hand at Python either. So there would be quite a
ramp up. On the other hand, I have a lot of experience developing on
and for Windows, even though I favour Linux these days.

So: Is there anyone else who would like to take over from Steve? I'm
not exactly dying to do it. But I would give it a go if there's no one
else.
