Lewis, I was the original Champion of Any23, but didn't include myself in the resolution to create the TLP for hope that the community was in a good shape and due to my limitation of cycles.
I "care" about Any23 though and am happy it is here, but not happy to hear that it's having issues. I will request to be added back to the PMC now, and see if I can lend some cycles towards helping out.
