Currently the Boost.Format library is being maintained by the CMT.  I would
like to petition for that responsibility and lighten their case load
further.  I recently assumed maintenance for Boost.Uuid, and I have added
Universal Windows Platform support to Boost.WinAPI and Boost.Predef so that
folks will have an easier time making Windows Store compatible apps.  I
have also been working on a change that will add UWP support to
Boost.Random and turn it into a header-only library, and expect to submit
that in the next few days.  I would like to shore up the CI environment for
Boost.Format and groom the backlog in trac and on github, and get all the
open issues resolved.

Thanks for your consideration,

Jim King
