Hey Bob, Great to hear from you and thanks for volunteering. Between you and me, I've been considering forking Drill, moving it to the OWASP foundation, and integrating a lot of security-related stuff that either hasn't been accepted or I haven't submitted. I suspect this would help increase Drill's user base and hence get better features etc.
