Wanted: Maintainer for xfce4-dict and Gigolo

[Patrick "Kai" Baker]

I got a reply saying I couldn't reply on the list, which must of meant the
developer's list. I never done anything like this but I want to learn and
get my name out there. I can maintain both, sure. What needs to be done and
where do I find the source code for these projects?
