I'm kindof torn on this one.
Like the prototype javascript bundle.
I'm the maintainer of the syntaxes, but Harald Martin Ström is the  
snippet maintainer.

I don't think there is an official maintainer for Javascript.
Experimental is also not really maintained.

Yeah, i think a single maintainer would work, if people fight about  
who want to handle all the support for the bundle, we can set the  
maintainer to Allan until they get over it. ;)
