It is certainly a sane place to start.

Has there been any communication through any channel from Craig on this since his last announcement message reply on 2015-01-20? I think the natural way for this to go would be for Craig to announce if he means to retire and hand over responsibilities for this project.

My strengths are in service architecture and documentation as well as deployment & maintenance automation. BackupPC's Perl and C are not in my repertoire, though.
