I will look into it. I don't promise anything, I'm a bit slow the last
months, I will still be slow until I find a sane job and fix my life.
I'm currently only working on a new sbcl ebuild for a newer sbcl
stabilization. Until the lisp team receive any help from other
developers/contributors or find time* to contribute more myself, the only
priority for me will be to support other teams which need tools of the
lisp herd (sci-mathematics is one of them, with maxima etc.). Feel free
to ask/request anything here, on this mailing list. 

I know I haven't done much from when I came back from the army,
sometimes I blame myself for this**, but there were also some bad
circumstances (family issues, etc.). I will lead the lisp team if there
are no objections or nobody else decides to step up. At least, I will do the
best I can to fix/bump the primary/main scheme/cl
interpreters/ compilers. Tom (chiiph) is the only active developer in
the lisp team nowadays together with me and ulm is helping occasionally
(thank you, Ulrich). Stelian (fe[nl]ix), Cyprien (fulax) and Dmitry
(dzhus) have also helped a lot (thanks guys, your help is really
much appreciated). 

Marijn, I will keep the chair warm until you're able to come back. 

I am positive, things will be better in the future. Thank you all for
what you've done so far. Any help is still very appreciated. 

* and hardware, my machinery is very limited these days. 
** I'm really sorry for the bad status of our herds.
