At present, the Matlab indent, syntax and ftplugin scripts are each listed as maintained by a different person. The indent script (unchanged since 2001) is by far the longest-unchanged one of three. If Christophe Poucet has gone AWOL and does not reappear, I suppose that Bram (who reads this list) will let you become the new maintainer of the Matlab indent script — if you are willing, of course. That would mean listening to Matlab users' complaints about indenting, fixing problems as best you can, and centralizing patches (if any) supplied by other people, then sending any changes to Bram. What would you think of that? Yes, as you say in your other email, if Christophe Poucet's email address has become invalid it needs changing, but even if he (in Belgium where he and I live, "Christophe" is a masculline given name) is still connected to the Internet, it is quite possible that no one on this list knows his new address, so it's anyone's guess by what that invalid address should be replaced.
