I think Randy Kobes volunteered to take over some of the "Modules For 
Sale"[1], but I don't recall which ones; and, to the best of my 
knowledge, no one has pried any of them out of Schwern's hands yet. ;)

Actually, Schwern made a reasonable request that someone show commitment 
to maintaining them first[1]. For example, knocking of something related 
in RT[2].

Either/Both Randy or Yves would make good maintainers, and I'll help 
where I can (I'm too unpredictable and irresponsible to maintain =). 
I've put together a couple of these modules in a dist[3], and I'll try 
to help put together a "non-trivial patch" to help pry them loose...

Randy.
