Eugenio,

There are leaders in the Samba Team, but the Team is really just a bunch of
coders--like you--scattered 'round the world.  Samba is written in C and
PIDL (a language created for/by the Samba Team).

If you wanted to donate the code to folks who would maintain it, then we
could put it on the jCIFS site.  As Mike said, jCIFS is a separate project.
 We collaborate with the Samba-folk (it's an open and friendly community)
but the projects really are separate.

jCIFS is where the Java coding gets done, and you said that you used jCIFS
code to build your server, so it would probably be best to build a new team
around your code in conjunction with what we already have for jCIFS.
