I have heard back from Eduardo.  He has apparently been absent due to 
some personal issues.  Sounds like he is happy/willing to have 
co-maintainers, etc so might make sense for the multimedia team to 
contact him?  I think he is going to let the current delayed upload go 
through so if you folks want to act, you may want to do it quickly.
