[pdftex] pdfwebmac: who maintains it!?

Well, someone has reported a bug in pdfwebmac.tex and I started looking
for a maintainer of that file, but could not find one.

With the help of Andreas Scherer, I could veryfiy that the suggested fix
works as it should even with the latest version of pdftex that I tried
("3.14159-1.00b-pretest-20020211").

Compared with the version that I had in teTeX until a few days ago, I had to
change:

  \pdfcatalog pagemode{/UseOutlines} -> \pdfcatalog{/PageMode /UseOutlines}
  \pdfannotlink                      -> \pdfstartlink

and the suggested fix:

    Using XYZ destinations with \pdfdest produces destinations that don't go
    to the right place on the page. It's quite annoying.
    ...
    The \startsection definition in pdfwebmac.tex needs to read:

    \def\startsection{\Q{\let\*=\empty\pdfdest num \modstar xyz}%
        \noindent{\let\*=\lapstar\bf\modstar.\quad}}

I finally came up with a pdfwebmac.tex file which seems to work. Is
there anybody who wants to pick it up and maintain it?
