I would like to see it maintained at least collectively, as we have the gpsca 
rewrite coming up, that will take a team effort to prepare imho.

There are currently three different packaging efforts existing, we need to 
decide on the way forward. Any ideas on how to proceed?

There is an existing alioth project, with SVN + mailing list. Should we build 
upon that effort and lobby Otavio with hard work?

Thanks, Kel.
