hey there,
i've been working with insoshi for about a year or so, and even though I had
no time to improve the codebase (sorry about that), I had a few insights in
it.

I am making a memory effort here, so my points will not be mathematically
accurate, they are at most feelings.
IMO:
- insoshi deployment posed some hurdles (regarding mainly the rsa_key and
rsa_key.pub thing).
- found tests where not 100% useful, also they looked old-style and no
cucumber at all there. You could stumble with risky edge cases. Most
notable: you could gain session access for any user by simply typing an url
in the browser. I wasn't (or the at the time teammembers) able to reproduce
the issue, and then suddenly money was cutoff, so we moved along leaving the
project improvements un-pushed (again sorry about that).
- difficulty to plug/unplug needed/unneeded functionality (**)
- the rake tasks for sample data and such were a bit alleatory

I guess anyone could take the responsability of being the maintainer, as
long as that is ok with Michael, if not then do it parallel until it become
ok, but I believe you need a good politics for allowing things in (tests,
tests and tests) for merging, good documentation (for newcomers), and IMO
the point marked with (**)

my 2 cents

cheers,
joaquin
