Thanks for pointing this out, I had completely missed it.

I had missed that as well. Bad Google and GitHub skills on my part
clearly.

I think the path is now obvious, ask if the owner will turn this
repository over to a group so that it can become the focus of future
work via the repositories wiki and issue tracker.

I will fork this repository as is and begin to analyse the status quo
wrt the discussion recently on the email list.
