I think that's a good way to keep things alive and perhaps to arouse somebody else interest in providing assistance, of course only if time permits. On the other hand it's a real pity that you are stepping down from maintaining doom or id software related games. That means Fabian is the new Doom guru now? I don't know much about deutex yet but if you can't find a dedicated doom enthusiast, i might be able to transform the package to source format 3.0. However i can't promise that i will add new features to it. So trying to keep the package alive would be my first priority, i can't promise anything else.
