Yeah. Well, you went through the 'best effort' imo. Next things
involve the streed addresses and if I understood right, the number's
location and address are the same, right?

Yep, imo it depends on project and its history. In cases when there are 
lot of people from start or for long time until some key figure disappears,
it doesn't matter. Lot of projects are 'pet projects' of some people and
there of course it's more personal.

I don't know the whole history of this one, but I have got the feeling 
that it's more the pet one.

Well, if I think putting myself into his shoes and the possibility that
the projects using this would disappear due unmaintained codebase, I 
would probably like it to be maintained too. Like I said, there are 
also cases from not liking it. Hard to say when he's not here.

Yeah, let's just hope that he's okay and will do so. At least his emails
don't bounce.
