I am not going to be transferring the control of the FAQ, but the FAQ is joint-written and maintianed. I generally post it, but he posts it when I am going to be out of the range of my computer when the time comes to post it. Does he need to submit seperately? He will use the same headers, just a different sender email address, of course. Will his subbmitting the headers kick me off as the maintainer? Thanks for your time!
