What would qualify me? I've touched Automake sources very lightly so far 
and I'm far from being a perl expert.

I also don't know which direction Automake should take, I have no 
vision, so I couldn't really do anything more than operate in 
maintenance mode.

On the other hand, any maintainer is better than no maintainer.

Since my dayjob depends on Automake I could probably devote some small 
but fixed amount of time to Automake maintenance.

Best regards.
