Well, in the last about two (or three?) years, bugs in the
lsr-software accumulated and Sebastiano was not really reponsive.
Thus, there was not much what anyone could have done...

Otoh, I once started lsr-update to 2.20. and did what I could to
support both versions (2.18./2.20.). I was not able to finish it
because of said bugs, though it was a very good base to start the
2.22. update. At least so far as lsr-snippets are concerned.
Iirc, I did already the lsr-2.14-update. That lasted much longer ...
Anyway, this is _not_ the duty of an lsr-editor, but the lsr-updater.
But ofcourse an experienced lsr-editor has a better impression what
needs to be done on questionable snippets, thus the lsr-editor may
become the lsr-updater...

That said, the main duties of an lsr-editor are described in CG 7.3
Approving snippets
In the past we never had many lsr-editors, I could drop some names,
but they are mostly retired or hardly active nowadays.
Thus, yes we should ask on -user for volunteers, every experienced
user would be welcome.


Best,
