Is there a maintainer for ecpg? patch included

Dear Pgsql Wizards,

I posted this message three weeks ago on pgsql-bugs and got no reply.
Is there a maintainer for ecpg? I have also trapped some other bugs /
oddities (e.g. upper case for table names etc. gets lost even if
quoted).

The patch does
- enables the use of bool variables in fields which might become NULL.
  Up to now the lib told you that NULL is not a bool variable, even if
  you provided an indicator.

- the second patch checks whether a value is null and issues an error if
  no indicator is provided.

Sidenote: IIRC, the variable should be left alone if the value is NULL.
ECPGlib sets it's value to 0 on NULL. Is this a violation of the
standard?

Regards
     Christof

PS: I offer some time for ecpg if there is no current maintainer. Or
should I address another list? (pgsql-interfaces?)
