Don't panic!  There's no immediate danger to mod_perl, and most people
are not trying to run on the very latest versions of perl and apache.
Even if mod_perl someday stops being developed for new versions of
perl and apache, there will be no immediate need to move off it and
plenty of alternatives available.

No, that's not how the ASF works.  Coding is a volunteer effort.
Money is spent on infrastructure like hosting.

It's fine for people to make their own deals to sponsor developers.
Some companies who need something will pay their own developers to
build it.  Most likely, no one has needed this enough to develop it
yet.  (Because they're all running apache 1.3...)
