Re: [DISCUSS] The future of mod_perl

When the roll call was done a month ago it's basically myself and Steve, 
with Steve really being the only one that has much knowledge of the guts 
of the project. Up until the last few months gozer (Phillippe Chaisson) 
was at least around enough to file reports, but has been MIA a few 
months. Some of the remainder of PMC list from the website are likely 
still at least subbed to lists, but are for all intents and purposes 
completely MIA or possibly formally retired from the project.
