It seems to me that part of the module author's responsibility is to make
him/herself accesible just for situations like this. I think you've gone
beyond the call of duty in trying to contact the author, and should adopt the
module.

I know if I were to die, for example, no coders would know, and my wife would
have no idea to let anyone know. I would hope that someone would pick up and
continue any code I have produced. However, I'd hope that I'd be given some
credit for my legacy. :)
