Does someone want to step forward as an official maintainer of Transfer?

I still have the domain (but clearly it's currently broken), and I have the
original documentation in HTML form on a turned off AWS server if anyone
wants it, so if anyone wants to get Transfer on Github and become the
official person, I'm happy to point everything to them and give them
whatever help they need.

Just noticing a few of these 'Transfer is broken on N version of CF'
threads, so dunno if someone wants to have all these mods and tweaks in a
single place.
