I understand what you mean, but the current maintainer has always
integrated patches and done releases, I think the problem is not the
lack of one maintainer willing to move forward, is lack of manpower to
do it.

As I said, anyone can step in, if patches start to flow (including bug
fixes) I'm sure they'll be integrated correctly and quickly.

If someone wants to take the project, the best thing to do is to start
contributing patches. After all, how can the maintainer know if someone
is seriously willing to take his role if there lack of a serious and
recent contribution flow?
