Unfortunately, XEP-0155 was only ever used in specs that Ian Paterson
worked on (XEP-0136, XEP-0116). All of his protocols were needlessly
complex and now we need to deal with the consequences (he disappeared
from the XMPP community in ~2007).
This raises the question of what we do about authors who are no longer
actively participating in the XSF's standards process (I ran into this
recently with fixes to various Jingle specs). I wonder if it would make
sense to specify who the maintainer is for any given XEP. For example we
could add a line at the top of XEP-0166 like so:
Authors: Scott Ludwig, Joe Beda, Peter Saint-Andre,
Robert McQueen, Sean Egan, Joe Hildebrand
Maintainer: Peter Saint-Andre
Something like this would provide recognition to the original authors
while indicating who to contact about current issues.
