Wanted: Maintainer for xfce4-dict and Gigolo

[Patrick "Kai" Baker]

I looked at the code last night. I know just a little bit of network and
gtk+ programming, but these are small enough programs that I was able to
make sense out of them. I was able to find the bug section for gigolo but
not the dictionary program. I will see if I can figure out one of the bugs
with gigolo and get started from there.
