Btw, I did ask on [email protected] and [email protected] but got no
indication that we have enough people to take it on. In fact, only 1
PMC member replied at all, making me wonder if mod_perl itself should
be retired/archived too :-(

It has also transpired that a certain former ASF and mod_perl PMC
member (still listed as being a committer and PMC member, though the
Apache Phone Book says the login is disabled) has forked both projects
(libapreq and mod_perl) on GitHub and is actively developing them
there, which further brings into question the point of the continued
existence of mod_perl here.
