Status of Audiofile (assuming maintainership I nothing heard)

Hi,
This project seems like it has died here with no CVS access in a
millenia and patches not getting accepted. As we need some of these
patches integrated for GNOME and GStreamer I am looking into what can be
done.

Can I safely assume that this project is no longer being maintained and 
move it back into gnome-cvs once again where I will do maintainership of
it?
(Maintainership in this regards is integrating patches we need for GNOME
and GStreamer (and any other distro and OS specific patches that apply
cleanly.)).
