If it is not well maintained in upstream, we can keep it in our contrib/ hierarchy forever, but given that nobody among us seems to be motivated and qualified enough to be its true maintainer, and no user seems to be contacting us about its bugs, it is just between letting it wither over there or in our contrib/, which does not make much of a difference, I would think.
