Hell, I know almost nothing about its internals but still would be
willing to become a maintainer if needed (maybe I wouldn't do much in
terms of real programming time but I sure can review and commit
patches). It's just too useful to let it bit-rot. Over time we can
adjust the feature set and/or the API (should not be a huge problem as
long as we update libnotify as well).
