I intend to review mature specification proposals, and would probably
participate in requirements discussions if needed. It is possilbe that
existing solutions are "good enough" but there are obvious deployment
issues; it might be useful or even sufficient to produce an overview
specification possibly with recommendations. I think it would be use-
ful to send your questions to the `perpass` mailing list, there might
be volunteers there.
