Thanks for pointing out that discussion. I couldn't resist and added a
comment myself:

I really hope that K. Haley will take over the Pan maintainership,
eventually. Anyway, as I've stated before, I'm willing to help in some
areas (see the aforementioned comment), but not in much needed coding,
unfortunately.

Also, I posted a little call for Pan contributors on my GNOME blog:

http://blogs.gnome.org/pmkovar/2010/08/04/interested-in-helping-pan/

It's being syndicated on Planet GNOME & Planet Fedora, so let's see if
there are interested people around.

Best,
