The question is: how often do new pull requests come in and
how fast they need to be reviewed.
The lower the traffic, the easier it is for people to make it in short
windows of free time.
I would guess it's rather low-traffic on lout, but William Bader
mentioned 1300 lines of patch-code already existing.

Opening a repository is one thing. Having the time to manage it is
a different thing. And if you don't know the source-code well, it may
take a while to say yes or no to pull-requests.

That in mind, William Bader looks like the ideal new maintainer ;-)

Ciao,

P.S.: I'm not using lout at the moment and I'm on the LaTex side again.
      But to have a working lout (without bugs) is always a good idea.
      I just recommended lout to someone (a friend of functional
      programming) some months ago for making his flyers.
