My apologies for not being able to respond to your mails sooner. BETSOL is very proud of Zmanda's open source heritage and community. We are 100% committed to the open source community and will be contributing to the code base to the best of our abilities.
I understand that we were not able to contribute as per the expectations in the last couple of months. I want to assure you that we are actively investing in growing Amanda and we have young enthusiastic engineers in the team. You can expect the next Amanda releases to include support for newer versions of operating systems, defect fixes, security enhancements etc. We have retained the team members that we could of previous Zmanda team. I can tell you that it's not easy without support from the community members. We encourage the community members to guide and contribute as much as you can. If you need commit access to the code base, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. You can expect our commitment and support to you.

As a long time user of Amanda (not 20 years, only 18 :) I would be gutted to see it die too. Though I am not sure I can do much to contribute.
