Hello, 

We are still actively using mod_perl along with libapreq2 across several
projects in production, so it would indeed be a shame to see it retired.


We'd be willing to help with maintenance where possible (testing, minor
fixes, feedback, etc.). However, due to time constraints at the moment,
and given that I haven't had experience leading or maintaining a project
of this scope, I wouldn't be the best fit to take on a lead developer or
ownership role right now. 

That said, this might be something I could consider in the future as
things evolve. 

If there's a coordinated effort to keep it alive, we'd be happy to
contribute within those limits. 

Best regards,
