No, I still don’t intend to continue maintaining it 🙂
I originally packaged it as a dependency of a Ruby implementation of git-crecord which I wanted to package. However, I quickly became unsatisfied with it and instead ported the Python code of hg-crecord to Git, so ruby-curses became useless to me.
If your package uses ruby-curses, it would be great if you could maintain this package in the Ruby team.
