Hi,

Just to be clear I added Tatsuya (he is maitaining services_amazon) and
David (we know the guy :) on their good faith.

They are not complete unknown so I assumed it was a good approach to get
things moving. If there is a problem we can always revert back.

In short, packages to keep on the watchlist.

Arnaud.
