I used to use Window Maker also.

I see. Yes mrxvt has been mainly sleeping. I'm not sure if it will wake 
up again. I would love to spend some time to finish my UTF-8 port. I had 
a branch in the repo, it works more or less (last time I tried), but 
very buggy. Maybe some day, who knows.

Well yes self-hosting is also a very good solution if we find some 
people trust-worthy and dedicated enough, that we know won't disappear 
soon (not saying it's your case!). I also have a server, but I can't 
ensure 100% I will be there forever.

In the end, I'm not the one to decide. But I do hope that the mrxvt 
project will say goodbye to the Sourceforge platform. :-)

I love it, so that's all good! :-)
