Well, as James put it, I'm interested in be the Release Engineer.

Why I want to do this? 'Cause I really enjoy MacPorts and that's one
of the things that keep me sane when using a Mac (and it's always the
first thing I install when I need to reinstall OS X after breaking
it.)

Why you should care? Well, I'm a maintainer of a small project
(Mitter, a Twitter client) and I'm doing releases almost in the same
way MacPorts is released. It's also very similar to the way we release
code (internally) at work.

[I think there is one reason for "not being nominated": I don't have
much experience with the base code and, so far, I've just contributed
with one Portfile. But, in my defense, I could say that a release is
not affected by the code -- or so I hope ;)]
