Had Mj2 Development stalled ... ?

Right now, I'm in the middle of a discussion on one of the postgresql.org 
mailing lists concerning switching to Mailman ... quite frankly, my experiences 
with mailman have been a nightmare, mainly because I *hate* their web ui 
*shiver*  And, I've fought so long with Majordomo2 to get things "just right", 
I hate throwing out all that hard work ...

But, some of the points brought up as to why to switch sound like relatively 
valid concerns, so I'm wondering if anyone is even still out there ... Jason?

1. this list has been very quiet lately ... is anyone still out there?

2. http://www.mj2.org - links broken to Jason's page at math.uh.edu
                      - no list archives
                      - /csf page has broken links to ancient message archives
                      - does it really still work with Perl 5.005_03??

3. has / is anyone looking into actually doing a "release" instead of 
snapshots?

4. Packages: I just checked FreeBSD ports, and there is no Majordomo2 (since 
that    requires a release ... but still pushes the old Majordomo1 (no wonder 
Mailman is making such headway) ... are there any packges out there for other 
operating systems?

5. Who actually uses it?  I find it hard to believe that I'm the biggest users 
that I've ever heard of ... but if someone asks me who is using it, I haven't 
got a clue .. some sort of section like that on the web site would be nice ...

Personally, there isn't much about Majordomo2 that I could ever complain about 
... I love the web interface, I love the CLI ... I hate both with Mailman, but 
Mailman has a stronger web page, online documentation ... wiki / community ... 
a logo ...

How do go about improving our 'visibility'?  Does anyone care?

Steve Pritchard ... if its about resources, I can provide a VPS, install a 
MediaWiki, etc ...

Anyone??
