Fortunately, Timothy Bogie has replied via private mail that he wants to
take care of dia-windows (not sure if he needs help with the creation of
the win32 binaries though, as he is no programmer).

So far no one else has replied. Thank you very much for your commitment!

I assume that all you need is committed to git? If not, please contact
Yasemin (see Cc:).
Do you want to upload your mac binaries to dia-installer.de? We could
try to keep this alive.

Cheers and Best Regards,
Felix
