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.
