Hi Dirkjan, Few of my packages depend on boost therefore I don't want to see this package rotten on the tree. However, I do not have the hardware to perform any kind of build testing to this package because it requires a significant amount of resources during compilation phase. I will add myself on metadata.xml but I will try to find a couple of users to help me maintain it and become proxy maintainer for them.
