Agree with Darin and Mohit. I think the project is still very relevant, but there is no one actively working on it - I myself couldn't put time on it as the problem space my employer operates in is very different from Myriad's. If Mohit is willing to drive the future features and Darin is ready to back him up, I honestly think this deserves another shot. We have already seen other folks expressing interest to offer support (in terms of code reviews, vetting releases etc).
