IMO the project has to look for new lead developer. When the leader lost
his interest or simply he has no time to fulfill his task, the project
needs a new lead. Yes, it is hard to find somebody, I guess, but as far
as it is not stated cleanly and explicitly and it is not clean for
everybody, you have even less chance to find somebody. Maybe you can
even mention this one the Index page, but of course the candidate has to
prove his skills on the dev list... yeah, sure, not an easy thing. But,
for example, it has already happen with F<censored/>r, AFAIK for 2
times, and I'm sure that the product would not be in such good shape as
now without it.

Of course, the people who should actually initiate this (i.e. to find
new lead) is the current lead, Geir. And I have to stress that the idea
is not that Geir has to go -- in practice he has already gone anyway --
but that somebody has to come.
