It strikes me that, sadly, we need the concept of supported module >
unsupported module > abandoned idea as well.

When the owner of a supported module goes awol (not that any committed
GeoTools developer would ever go missing for more than a month or
so... ahem...) it looks like there are two options.  1) Find a new
owner 2) Downgrade from supported to unsupported.  Obvious I guess but
still something we should document the process - I guess we could
always demote to unsupported and then start the process of finding a
new maintainer.

Also the current wording of installing a new maintainer with a 75%
vote from the PMC should make it clear that this is to cover cases
where the existing maintainer appears to have dropped off the face of
the earth.
