I'm the maintainer of LIBLINEAR, a package related to LIBSVM. I pinged
the maintainer of LIBSVM a while ago. He indicated that he's still
interested in maintaining it, but had to schedule the time.

I'll ping the maintainer again, and see whether he can make the time
soon.

In any case, LIBSVM's structure is very similar to LIBLINEAR, so an up
to date packaging could be taken from the latter and adapted to the
former.

Christian
