Keith,

I hope you agree that what I did was correct. If someone asks to look at my 
code, it does not mean they are definitely going to write something, so its 
not my part to announce their definite involvement, since the final decision 
is theirs. However, I wanted to inform the list in case someone else was 
working on the same thing. Have I breached etiquette by dealing with the 
circumstances in this way?

Gropdf, in git, contains the same code as pdfbb, except I pulled out the pdf 
loading/saving code into a separate module, since I have since used this in 
other projects.

I am about to send the email I sent to Ulrich to your email address, and it 
includes the smtp rejection received from Sourceforge.
