Right now, you have to go via a maintainer for this directory - this
would be Andreas Ericsson or me.  However, I think it's best to post
proposals for changes to the contrib directory (new or updated packages)
to this mailing list, addressing your messages to Andreas.  This might
encourage others to contribute as well.

Are you proposing that we place your updated Asterisk and PostgreSQL
packages in contrib right away?  I notice that the Asterisk package is
named appropriately (Release: owl_add1), but the PostgreSQL one is not.

Thanks,
