Hang on a mo ...

Isn't one of the whole fricking points about "open source" that anyone can pick it up and develop (or at the very least) maintain it ? So it shouldn't kill a project if the author(s) go AWOL (or given the names, MIA) ????

What exactly is needed apart from the source code here ?

I understand why some projects die because there's no resource to advance them. But that doesn't seem to be the case here.
