It seems that over the years I have taken over maintenance for
too many packages and I cannot really give all of them the care
that they deserve. Thus, I request an adopter for the bomstrip package.

The package description is:
 Bomstrip is a very simple tool that removes BOM's (byte-order-marks)
 from UTF-8 files.  UTF-8 does not have byte-ordering issues, so there
 is absolutely no need to have three bytes (the UTF-8-BOM) that do not
 say anything about the byte-order (since there is nothing to say).
