It would be understanding and support that would have to start from zero, not coding. And FLOSSfolk have seen repeatedly that unless there's a maintainer, people stay away from projects, because of the often well-founded suspicion that nobody knows what's going on. > Yes, that matters.

Chicken *is* fully understandable by 1 person. The question is, is there anyone who has both the motivation and the time? I don't hear anyone, so that's why your and Felix's state of mind both matter. -- No, John.
