Maybe that's because you posted a nonsensical question to /. instead
asking about it here first.   To use an analogy, it was as if the
icewm project is a public park that's becoming littered and you said "I
really hope someone other than me takes responsibility for this park,
and I'll pay you for picking up a single piece of litter!" Maybe it
would have made sense if you had asked here first and the response was
"more developers needed", but that didn't happen.

There are already plenty of potential contributors, myself included
(I'm the author of this patch:
http://sourceforge.net/p/icewm/patches/201/), and I wasn't even aware
of the Gentoo maintainers until your mail.  The problem is we're unable
to contribute. 

The question is if there is anyone else apart from Marko who can edit
the website, and has CVS commit access to make new releases? And if not
then I think he needs to grant that access to someone he trusts and who
will use it (Adam?).

I don't want to see icewm die either, and normally I'd say I don't have
time to help, but if it meant keeping the project alive then I could
make time for it, but obviously there isn't any point if offers to help
fall on deaf ears.
