Nut upsdev - Oct 2009 - Cyberpower OR500 on usbhid-ups

Dear Rod,

thanks for writing. Good work! I am no longer an active NUT developer,
so I am forwarding your message to the NUT developers list.

NUT developers: probably this device can be added permanently. Also,
should the MAINTAINERS file perhaps be replaced by a pointer to the
mailing lists? It seems fairly outdated anyway. 

Cheers, -- Peter

It was added to the trunk almost two months ago, so by the time we  
release nut-2.4.2, it should be available.

Well, that depends. You added yourself to the MAINTAINERS list in  
revision 343 . You could have removed your entry by the time you  
stepped down from active development, but didn't.

If you no longer want to be listed, please let us know and we'll  
remove the entry.

Best regards, Arjen
