Well, Krzysztof Oledzki <ole [at] ans.pl> is listed in the pomng db
as the maintainer for the time module.

I am not :) It is just because I do (plan) to include it in my kernels
too, so there was the opportunity to give ipt_time some cleaning.

It is a free world, you cannot "steal".

BTW,
# condition, maintained by Massimiliano Hofer <max at nucleus.it>

#1: Convince Patrick the module has its worth :)
#2: x_tables infrastructure
#3: IPv6, if applicable/doable
#4: Logic cleanups (as for ipt_time, I remember rants about timezone support*)

As for condition, I have not looked at it, and do not plan to.
Feel free to "grab" it :)
