ASLO is more similar to a distribution than to gitorious repositories and
distributions usually have non-responsive maintainer policies

If we have to choose, I think it's more important to make an improved
activity available then old versions provided by the original maintainer.

I think giving Alan joint ownership is the most pragmatic approach.
