You will find a list of CMake "Module Maintainers" here: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Module_Maintainers
If a module is not listed, it is not currently claimed. (Meaning either nobody is currently maintaining it, or "everybody" is pitching in a little bit as things important to them arise.) Unfortunately, FindBoost is among the maintainer-less modules at present... However, ... patches are welcome. :-) HTH, David C.
