I really do not want to create fork or become new "maintainer" of this
project.

If somebody else want to take project or create fork, I can prepare
patches and send them to new place. But still I would like to see code
review of patches from other people. dosfstools is a project which is
used by lot of people and is de-facto standard for FAT32 Linux support.
So breaking something should be prevented as much as possible.

Richard or Andy, if Andreas really do not have time for dosfstools, what
about you to take maintenance of dosfstools?
