The thread you've all been waiting for? Maybe. ... Obviously, one of the prior developers like Tim Legant, Jim Ramsay, or Gre7g would be best suited to do this, but honestly I have no idea where they are either. I've tried to contact Tim a couple of times in the past year, but have received no response. From casual observation of the lists, Stephen Warren seems like he would also be well qualified for these duties (though I'm not putting you on the spot Stephen).
Well, stepping up to do this is something I have idly thought about in the past.
I think TMDA's future would work best if there were a number of people with "core" contributor roles, so no one person was a bottle-neck. I don't know how much time it would take to maintain TMDA (well, I guess it depends on how much one performs maintenance v.s. enhancements...)
I am pretty familiar with tmda-ofmipd's code, but really not too familiar with the rest of TMDA. That said, I do know Python well now, and can certainly track things down in the code and work out how it all fits together.
So yes, I'd certainly be interested in some form of role in maintaining TMDA. That said, I would have to think about how much time it would take to be *the* maintainer of the code. On that topic, I have relatives over for a long weekend, so the next couple of days aren't the right time for thinking about that!
I'm guessing the best way to get things going is to unlock the existing TMDA wiki so we can document any problems people know about, and any patches for those, or enhancements. Once we have a better idea about where things are, we can think about how to integrate this into the TMDA code-base (TLS server support directly in tmda-ofmipd would be a top wish-list item for me!)
I guess the thing that's most badly affected TMDA development recently is that it basically just works 99.99% of the time, and so it isn't really the squeaky wheel that got the oil:-)
