We would certainly be interested in any improvements to our packaging 
and distribution story, and the new snap mode definitely seems like a 
much better match for LDC. Sadly, I don't think any of the currently 
active contributors has the bandwidth to take on package maintainership. 
If you can commit to maintaining it for some time going forward 
yourself, though, we can certainly trial it as an "official" 
distribution channel.

Cheers,
David
