I think that is irrelevant to the decision of the steering council though. > > I wouldn't say for sure, but I don't expect him to transmit patches > through a third party, now that the SC banned him for 12 months, and > that he publicly resigned (signalling that he has probably no intention > to try to come back). > > Do you think otherwise?

If someone poses problematic behavior (as it seems, as I'm not familiar with any specifics here), maintenance of a module should be the last of the worries. There are many pieces in the stdlib which remain or have remained unmaintained for years.
