Library is not maintained

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. N/A

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
This is a very useful library and it is unfortunate that it has had no updates 
in 4+ years. I do understand that not all software gets continued maintenance, 
and that no good deed goes unpunished, but I would appreciate a clear statement 
about whether there is any intention of fixing issues in this library, or 
whether pulls/patches would be accepted, or whether the project is officially 
abandoned. 

A related question: Will this project be exported to github under the google 
organization ahead of the upcoming decommissioning of Google Code? 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest rev, many platforms
