I agree that Peter was a valuable and aggressive contributor. It's sad that 
instead of communicating
each other's concerns, "high-profile" committer(s) snatched psm's commit 
rights.

IIRC, Peter got into trouble as his changes were huge, hard to review and 
some
time broke the build and/or compatability.

I am sure now PSM can very well contribute to uClibc and give it its glory 
back.

 I vote for offering him a maintainer position again.
