To put this into a way that makes sense to me: I'm volunteering to keep distribute 0.6 and setuptools 0.6 in sync, no more, no less, and try and keep that as uncontroversial as possible, and get setuptools 0.6 releases out to match distribute 0.6 releases as soon as I can. That may not be as easy as it sounds; Distribute deleted various things from the setuptools tree (e.g. the release.sh script, used for issuing releases) and of course it adds other stuff (e.g. stuff to overwrite setuptools).  So you'd need to screen the diffs. Second, I still intend to move setuptools 0.7 forward at some point, which means the patches also need to go to the trunk. Dream on. If I had the time to co-ordinate and supervise all this, I'd have the time to just do it myself. I think at this point the community should not be forced wait for you to get a new supply of round tuits. The wait has been too long already. You can stay on in an advisory role, but I don't think it's reasonable to block development or decisions until you have time.

Is it possible to fork setuptools somehow ? This way :

all this easy if a DVCS is used ;o)
