Sure. Obviously, GitX is no longer being developed. The question is what to do about it: Pieter could include a reference that his fork is no longer being maintained in the README file, for example.
As to being "blessed", this is mostly a question of version-number and Google PageRank, isn't it? I mean, if you manage to put up a decent website which ranks above gitx.frim.nl (should not be that hard), you are the blessed GitX, aren't you? GitX is not in the Mac App Store yet, as far as I know, so you could be the first there as well! Once a user has installed your fork, he/she will receive your auto-updates (much like with iTerm/iTerm2). One thing Pieter could definitely do is to end the Pledgie-campaign for GitX, so people won't be donating money to the maintainer of the stale development branch [1] And then at some point, you might lose interest in maintaining something you don't use yourself and someone else will slowely crawl to the top ;) Or am I missing something here?
