monotone 1.2 release?

Hi all.

monotone is long since not available anymore on FreeBSD and on Debian, 
I've been using locally compiled versions (which I have been seldom 
reported in this group) for a while now and I wonder… would it make 
sense to make a 1.2 release easier to use with modern 
compiler/dependencies for anyone?

I'm not up to the task of full maintainership (for lack of time I can 
dedicate to the project), but doing a rare release once in a while to 
keep stuff from rotting and at least compile I could probably do.

Any interest here?

Would it make sense for a real "release"?
Would we have any objections?

Also: I guess the user-base is small enough that mostly everybody is 
capable of building their own binary by themselves anyways, but it would 
be nice to have "easier" binaries in repos anyways. Or at the very 
least, I'd like to do that in FreeBSD (and Arch AUR).
(I'm not so sure about Debian, me not being a user myself)

(The changelog would in be very clear that it is a purely maintenance 
release and not to expect new features or big changes anytime soon.)

cheers,
Lapo
