The question still not arised in this thread: Is anyone really capable of
*maintaining* an IceWM development?

It is easy to collect and apply patches, but a maintainer ought to have an
overview and decide which patch is reasonable and won't harm - although it
might look good at a first glance. This maintainer ought to know how IceWM
works as a whole and be able to track down crashes anf things no longer
working that suddenly might appear, otherwise we might break (parts of) IceWM
in the long view.

Not an easy job.

Just my thoughts.
